ABOUT THE ROLE

I am a happy, fun loving young man who loves life and spending time with people. I have complex health needs and require daily support from my family and my wonderful team of carers. I am a full-time wheelchair user and am reliant on my team for all transfers using the equipment provided.

I also require someone to support me to attend hospital appointments with my foster mum.
