HI, I’M HARVEY!

I was born in 2012 and I’m looking for a Support Worker to join my team in Melksham, Wiltshire!
I’m a sociable and energetic boy who loves adventures and having fun. Some of my favourite things are going to Costa or Greggs for a cake and hot chocolate, swimming, horse riding, gaming, and playing outside. I also love spending time with my big family and friends—especially when there’s music and dancing involved.
I live with my mum, dad, and older brother, and they are really important to me. I also have a big circle of family and friends nearby who I love seeing often.
I have some physical and learning difficulties, and I sometimes experience epilepsy absences when I’m tired. That means I need a bit of extra help to do the things I love and to stay safe and happy.
