Some of their interests include football, Star Wars, and stand-up comedy. As written by our client… "Before university, I spent 5 years at a special residential school with a small peer group, so I was really looking forward to being as independent as possible and meeting new people. I am really proud to have lived independently since September 2023, but my first year was socially quite challenging due to fatigue and anxiety." "I’m a huge fan of the Star Wars franchise and also like Marvel and DC. I’m also a lover of sports - mainly football but also basketball, rugby, tennis, etc." "I am looking for someone who can be flexible. One of the things I value most from having my care team is the ability to be spontaneous. I may decide with relatively short notice to spend time at home in Surbiton, or elsewhere, and I would need you to travel with me." "You will be given plenty of training and I will always let you know if I want something done differently. It will take time for you to become familiar with everything, so don’t worry about making mistakes."
