Care Assistant

I can feel anxious when working with new staff, confidence, competence, and professionalism from you make a significant difference as they help reassure me, calm my nerves, and allow me to focus better on my work and daily activities. Flexibility is important, as my needs can change. I place great importance on my independence, comfort, and overall well-being. Empowering me and supporting my sense of control helps me feel respected and valued.

As a result of my spinal cord injury, I have significantly reduced sensation in my limbs, meaning I may not always perceive touch, pressure, or temperature. I experience frequent and sometimes unpredictable muscle spasms, which can be uncomfortable and may require a few moments for me to manage and regain control. I also have limited balance and can be prone to falling forward, so care and vigilance during transfers are essential. Qualifications What I'm Looking for in Support I value workers who are reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly. Patience, understanding, respect, and discretion are very important to me. When assisting with transfers, you will need to be calm, attentive, and vigilant always to ensure my safety and comfort. I expect situations to be handled calmly and professionally, while always promoting choice, dignity, and respect. Accurate, timely, and factual record-keeping is essential.
