About the role

Jack communicates using British Sign Language and team members should possess a level 3 in British Sign Language and be confident in using this whilst supporting him.
Jack is looking for active team members who enjoy spending time outdoors and can support and encourage him to take part in activities. He loves attending clubs for deaf people, going fishing and eating out with his sister and team members.
Jack needs support with personal care, medication, and household tasks to maintain his independence and live his best life.
