A bit about me:
I live with my family in Devizes and am a happy, kind, caring and positive 27-year-old young man with a rare genetic condition, alongside this I am also on the autism spectrum and have some, but rare, behavioural issues.
I have sensory issues and get highly stimulated in certain situations which I mostly cope with by stimming. I am non-verbal, I can sign and say a selection of words, but it is not hard to communicate with me. I am easy to get along with and understand what I need to communicate with people. I need my person to confirm their understanding verbally.
I am a wheelchair user, non-motorized. I require someone to assist me by pushing my chair around. I have no safety awareness, so I need someone to be alert at all times and have safety awareness of uneven surfaces.
I am a very compassionate and caring individual who loves to express affection. I give lots of hugs, hand holding and hand strokes when I like someone. I love to be sociable with people passing by I'm very well known and loved by people in Devizes which is reciprocated.

About the role:
Sharing my day by spending time on canal walks, bus spotting, drinking coffee and enjoying the daily goings on of my local town.
I prefer a calm and positive environment to prevent over stimulation.
I need assistance with personal care (changing when required), washing my face and help with eating certain foods.
I need someone to accompany me to medical appointments when required.
The role would involve you liaising with my mum, sister and a senior member of staff and when you start work you will be shadowing a senior member of staff at first to see how my day is.

Upbeat, positive, calm and caring person.
Ability to encourage and motivate me.
Sign language trained is desirable but not essential as my comprehension is good.
