ABOUT THE ROLE
Hi, Im Jack! Im a bright, resilient, and affectionate young man who lives at home with my mum, Catherine. I go to Chads Grove School full-time, where I have 1:1 support from the Orchard Service. I thrive in a structured and caring environment where my health needs are well managed, and Im supported by kind, attentive, and consistent PAs who truly understand me.
I have complex health needs, including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, gastro-oesophageal reflux, epilepsy, learning difficulties, and bilateral hip dislocation. These affect my mobility, communication, and daily care. Im fed through a gastrostomy tube because eating by mouth isnt safe for me, and I need full support with all aspects of daily life.

With the right team around me, I feel safe, happy, and understood.
