Hi, my name is Tiago. Can you help me live life to the full?
I am looking for a personal assistant to join my team. I am a typical young adult with a wicked sense of humour, and I lead an active life. I like to hang out and play Xbox and Dungeons and Dragons; when you’re gaming, you’re free of your limitations. I enjoy outdoor adventures like sit-skiing. I study Games Development and Coding at college. I sometimes find my cerebral palsy annoying, but I try to stay positive and persevere to overcome challenges. I live in a spacious house, adapted to my needs with a well-equipped room and an automatic vehicle for my personal assistant team to use on shift.
The role will involve you working with my family, team leader, therapists and other support workers. Although the role does include working alongside other members of my support team, the role is mostly 1:1 working. This position requires you to work and conduct yourself in a professional manner.
This job will suit somebody with a positive attitude towards inclusion. You will need to be physically able to carry out my therapy program and be confident using assistive technology (with training).

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:

• Must be able to drive and hold a full UK Driving Licence
• Must be comfortable around my assistance dog.
• Must live in Banbury or surrounding area(s) or willing to commute.

• Personal care
• Moving and handling
• Supporting me with my college work
• Supporting me to arrange social time with my friends
• Follow my therapy routines and programs
• Assist me with using my specialist technology and equipment to support my speech, physical, social, and educational needs.
• To support me with my assistance dogs’ daily care
• Domestic tasks around my house
• Medication administration
• Assisting me on overnight stays away from my family home.
