A little bit about me...
I live in the Belle Isle area of Leeds with my mum and my new born baby boy. I am really enjoying being a mum to my son and my own mum is helping me loads but I do require some support with him through the day. I would like to be able to take him out more especially now that the weather is picking up and I would love for someone to help me do this…
This role is a unique one as not only will you be supporting our client to over-come her difficulties she incurs resulting from her brain injury, you will also support her to look after her son and offer the correct advice on parenting where required. The role is community based and although you will be working with my client in her own home, the main purpose is to support her to access the community more.
For this role, we ideally required someone who has knowledge and understanding of acquired brain injuries and also relevant child care experience or qualifications. We would also prefer a driver with their own vehicle to make it easier to access the community.
