We are committed to collaborating closely with our customers to shape the support they receive. We invited B to develop a job advertisement for their new deputy service manager, and this is what they shared: "Hi, I'm B, I'm a 56 years old woman, I have a learning disability and autism, and I live in my own house in Hertfordshire. I'm looking for caring and passionate individual to support me with my daily living skills but also to help me develop skills to live more independently, to share my hobbies and interests and to explore new ones. I need support to adapt to new environments and to develop trust in my carers, also support to make safe use of my home. I love the sun and warm weather. I benefit from a Positive Behaviour Support approach as I may hurt myself or others when I'm upset, and I can damage my property.
