I am a young man in my late 20’s seeking capable and motivated support workers to support me. I have just transitioned into my own home, and I need support in all areas of daily living including meal preparations, household items, gardening, activities and being provided with encouraging support.

I am seeking Support Workers who can engage on a 24 hour basis under the SCHADS 24 hour care engagement model. These shifts are 1pm – 1pm for both weekday and Sunday support.

My ideal support worker will be someone who engages with me actively. I do not particularly connect well with quieter individuals. Ideally my support workers will be energetic, motivating and understand my need for routine and understand that I can do all things, I just need support and guidance around my tasks. My support workers understand their role is to support me to do things for myself, not do things for me.

I am an active and fit individual, who works three days a week and plays sport in a local sporting team. I go to the gym twice a week and like to swim often. I enjoy trying different things and have had great fun at cable wave skiing, and zip lining among others. If you love adventure, and seek to explore the fun things in life, then we will get along well!

To relax I enjoy gardening, jigsaw puzzles and watching movies. I have support workers who support me in the community; however, the more I get to know you, I will welcome you to support me in the community also. My family are the most important people in my life, and you will work alongside them and my coordinator of supports to ensure I am receiving the appropriate support I need to live as independently as possible. When given the flexibility of a few good choices I am able to make my own decisions.

My transition into my own home was an integral step in maintaining and exploring my independence. This will be quite the journey for me and to make sure it will be sustainable I need to connect and engage with supports slowly.
