Job Summary
Hi, I’m Tim! I was born in 2000 and live with my mum, dad, and younger brother in Holbury. I’ve got a great sense of humour and love spending time with people who are kind, calm and fun. I enjoy playing with my favourite toys and games - especially ones that involve interaction. I feel happiest in a relaxed environment with familiar faces.
I need support with all aspects of daily life, including personal care, medication and accessing activities. I have complex epilepsy and learning disabilities, and I use a wheelchair. I’m not very steady on my feet, so I need two people to help me walk or transfer safely. I also need time to process information, so patience is really important to me.

- To be aware of my emotional, behavioural and cognitive issues as a result of my injury.

- Assisting during mealtimes and support to help tidy up.

- Client related domestic tasks
