Following an Acquired Brain Injury sustained in a road traffic accident, he now follows a structured rehabilitation programme designed by an MDT including Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy. Due to his ABI, Phil can experience fatigue, confusion, agitation and reduced awareness, though he remains sociable, engaging and witty.

Overview of role: You will play an important role in promoting Phil’s independence, dignity and confidence through gentle prompts and visual cues to support routines and participation in daily life. His days are carefully structured to balance therapy, rest and enjoyable activities while avoiding overstimulation.

This is a rewarding long-term opportunity for someone committed to making a meaningful difference.
