- Loves sitcoms like _Friends_, _Big Bang Theory_, _Frasier_, and _Becker_
- Enjoys walking and light exercise (with mindful pacing)
- Attends regular ECT, physio, and personal training appointments

This is a beautiful opportunity to help her feel safe, seen, and supported as she navigates new surroundings.

**What We’re Looking For**:

- Female support worker with trauma training and mental health experience
- Compassionate, calm, and able to build trust over time
- An understanding of eating disorders (particularly anorexia) is highly valued
- Someone comfortable supporting emotional regulation, community integration, and personal care
