Description

I really enjoy going out for walks and going out into the community. So, having support staff who enjoy walking and being out and about would be a huge bonus. I also love drawing and enjoy putting the drawings up in my house.

It's important for staff to develop a good relationship with me and get to know me, so they can identify when I need their support.

Sometimes I can let my schizophrenia get the best of me and when this happens, I need my support staff to reassure myselfand make me feel safe.

I sometimes struggle to show my emotions so again my staff need to be confident and help me express myself.
