“I am Jordan and I am 45 years old. I am a caring, compassionate, and determined individual who advocates for others with disabilities. I have been told I am very intelligent, creative, a good communicator and considerate.

I love banter and having a laugh with those who are in my life. I love all things rave and GBX! I enjoy a late night on a Saturday listening to GBX with a takeaway and a gin. I love listening to audio books and podcasts – I like to expand my knowledge in different areas.

My favourite things to do are meeting friends, public speaking, and presentations. I am currently employed and work at least one day a week; this really fulfils me, and I love my job.

I live with a condition called cerebral palsy, which is a condition that affects my muscle control and movement. I need support in all aspects of my daily life such as meal preparation however, I am very independent in my own way. I am a really good mentor and enjoy guiding unfamiliar staff on how I like to be supported, just ask me what you need to know.”
