I’m a 38-year-old lady who sustained a brain injury following an accident whilst serving in the RAF. I have recently relocated to Porthcawl and need support from my Team Leader, Rehabilitation Workers and parents to live independently in my own property.

I use a wheelchair and together with my physiotherapist, I’m working on my strength to assist my mobility further.

Most importantly, you will support me with cooking, managing my house and exploring sports/rehab/activities in the area.

I have some physical difficulties and currently receive input from an occupational therapist, neuropsychologist and a physiotherapist. I can communicate verbally providing you give me the time I need to express myself. I would like my rehab workers to be warm, patient and reliable, to encourage and support me to access all opportunities along with completing therapy tasks as prescribed by my therapist team, thus, helping me to maximise my quality of life.

You will play a key part in helping to develop my day-to-day activities. There may be occasions where you need to work atn short notice to cover sickness absence or annual leave of other workers. You may also need to support me to have short breaks and holidays. This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. Full induction and training will be provided.
