You must be a happy, calm, enthusiastic and trustworthy, to be a part of my team. You will assist me to conduct the life I want, and encourage and develop my communication skills including Makaton and picture cards.
Sometimes I need a quiet environment in my home but I love being around people who have a great personality and can make me laugh. I really enjoy listening to music – especially reggae (Bob Marley is my favourite). I’d love it if you liked these things too.
I’d love for people to join my team who are 100% reliable and able to provide me with personal care support.
AH - has limited communication skills and uses a small amount of Makaton. While AH has a small vocabulary, with a regular staff team, they will learn to communicate effectively with him.
