HI, I’M DEAN — AND I’M LOOKING FOR A BUDDY/SUPPORT WORKER!

Hey there! I’m Dean, born in 1999, and I’m looking for someone friendly, reliable, and supportive to join me on my journey to becoming more independent. I’ve got loads of interests and hobbies, and I’d love to find someone who’s up for sharing some of them with me — or just being a great companion.

A BIT ABOUT ME:

• I’m passionate about woodwork — I love getting stuck into creative projects.
• I enjoy stunt scootering and hanging out at the local skate park.
• I’m a big fan of live music, especially drum and bass, and I love going to events to see my favourite DJs.
• I love being outdoors, walking in nature, relaxing on the beach, and swimming in the sea when I’m on holiday.
• I have a close relationship with my mum — she’s a big part of my life.
  I sustained a hypoxic brain injury at birth and I’ve been hearing impaired all my life. I wear hearing aids and lip read well. I’m looking for someone who can support me with daily living tasks, help me explore new activities, and encourage me to keep doing the things I love — like skateboarding, surfing, swimming, and of course, woodwork.

• Essential: Supporting young adults to achieve their potential and become more independent.
• Desirable: Experience working with young adults with trauma and an interest in therapy.

• Proof of eligibility to work in the UK
• Satisfactory references, including your last employer
