The role is to support the young lady to access the local community.

You must be a highly motivated, confident and capable individual with experience of epilepsy preferred, although training will be available, to provide one to one support and encouraging her to learn new life skills.
Communication skills: You must be able to communicate effectively.
Empathy and Compassion: Due to the individuals limited communication skills, understanding and empathising is an important skill and is vital to this PA role.
