Your team will work with our customer (let's call her S) who has complex needs, including a moderate learning disability, autism, communication challenges, ADHD, some sensory processing challenges as well as a diagnosis of psychosis.

S, who's in her late teens, currently lives within an institutionalised environment. You'll help her adapt, transition, and settle into living in her first ever own home. You'll soon discover that S is an intelligent, independent, chatty, super direct and complex young lady who enjoys her imaginary friends! S needs a dedicated and positive team to help her reach her full potential.

S has some sensory processing difficulties and can react strongly to touch, both in positive and negative ways, as well as being sensitive to strongly smelling toiletries. When stressed or anxious, S may challenge us, and we’ll make sure you are trained to a high standard to manage on those occasions should they occur.

S loves spending time doing the things she enjoys and that are important to her; she adores her cuddly toys, watching Netflix, swimming, horse riding or simply soaking in the bath.

With the help of our Team Leaders and clinical team, you’ll help S to participate in her favourite things as well as try new things through positive risk taking.
