With this young man enjoying being active, we're also looking for someone who will be creative and supportive with his hobbies and interests too, these include bowling, exploring the outdoors, swimming, going out for drives and cooking.

• A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• A caring and compassionate attitude
• The ability to work well in a team
• Good communication and organisational skills
• A positive attitude with a willingness to learn
• Confidence to go in the water, as swimming is a regular activity
• The ability to cook
