About Me
Hello! I am an 18-year-old female living with Borderline Personality Disorder, Intellectual Disability and Autism in Plympton Park. I love animals and have a pet Bunny called Pip! Pip loves pats and cuddles. I enjoy spending my time outdoors walking and going to the beach. I have a passion for reading young adult novels.
I am looking for outgoing Support Workers to assist me in achieving my NDIS goals. I would like the person supporting me to possess a calm nature and engage with me when I am experiencing a crisis. I would like my team to follow the strategies outlined in my positive behaviour support plan and safety plan.
The Role
An Opportunity is available to join my team of resilient support workers who help to facilitate my daily life. My support workers assist me on a 2 to 1 model.
Due to some of the challenges I face, I tend to withdraw. In this instance, I would like you to distract me and assist me with my emotions. My behaviour can be challenging and confronting for staff at times as I have limited capacity to regulate my emotions. However, the strategies outlined in my positive behaviour support plan will assist you to support me.
