Background

About Vicky Clements

I am a freelance BSL Community Support Worker / Personal Assistant working with Deaf Adults in the community. I support with everyday tasks on a short term basis; supporting as and when needed, clients can float in and out, no long term commitment required. I have 15 years experience working with Deaf/Deafblind people living in their own homes. I have supported people to understand and follow basic/easy to understand budget plans for bill paying and reducing debts, set up bank accounts and weekly allowances to ensure essential bills are paid on a regular basis. I have supported people to access Healthcare Services, ensuring they have appropriate communication support froma qualified Sign Language Interpreter, where this hasn't previously been arranged. My main aim and passion is to encourage and promote independence for Deaf people, enabling them to live a fulfilling life, making their own choices and able to access services and opportunities as freely as they choose.
