R is looking for an active support worker, who has their own car with business insurance. R needs a support worker with cooking skills, and R needs support to maintain his emotional and physical wellbeing and to navigate day to day life. R needs support staff that can help him feel safe and who can work with him in a therapeutic way that facilitates this. His support does not involve personal care.
