About the Role

The client has a youthful personality and preferences and responds best to a relaxed, friendly, and supportive approach. She does not respond well to overly formal or directive communication. Instead, she thrives when support is offered in a respectful and encouraging way.

Swearing may be part of her natural communication style and should not automatically be interpreted as aggression. The successful worker will be able to remain calm, respectful, and professional while supporting her individual communication style.

Your role will involve supporting her independence while providing encouragement and guidance in a way that respects her personality, preferences, and communication needs.
