"Hi, I'm S. and I am a 43-year-old woman who lives in a supported living accommodation in Newham since 2022.

I am generally a happy and sociable person who enjoys being with those around me and makes friends quickly. I have a good relationship with my family and enjoy spending time with them at their house when I can.

I enjoy activities like arts and crafts, spending time on YouTube, dancing and going to the café. I also enjoy looking after myself and getting my nails and hair done and shopping for nice clothes (but I might need prompting to put outfits together to look nice and I enjoy staff telling me I am looking well and giving me positive feedback).

I like to be surrounded by people who are very proactive and can be creative and patient when engaging me in tasks and activities - and are confident supporting me in building safe relationships. I enjoy and respond well to positive affirmations and recognition of my progress.

I might experience difficulties managing my emotions and behaviours at times, particularly when I am feeling low or can't do something I want to do. People working with me must be able to support me in such challenging situations through Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies as detailed in my support plan.

I am looking for a proactive, caring and bubbly individual to support me with my daily living skills, building and maintaining safe relationships, keeping myself and my home safe but also to help me develop my skills to live more independently, to share my hobbies and interests and to explore new activities.

I am looking for someone who is a good and clear communicator, is assertive, has good IT skills and shares my enthusiasm for what interests me.

Look Ahead ensures I am treated with dignity and respect, and only staff who can live up to the organisational values become part of my support team."
