Julie Phillips, Support Worker, Headway Bristol 

What I do
I work with service users at our centres, helping them practise or relearn skills that may have been affected by a brain injury. I also support them on outreach, assisting them to identify and work towards enriching goals.   

Skills and experience
Before working for Headway Bristol, I gained experience supporting service users, many of whom have profound or complex needs, within a day care setting. I supported the individuals and their families, to provide customised care. Empowering them, delivering support and respect. Providing choices and ensuring service users were listened to were of the upmost priority. I have also have experience working in the housing sector. 

Interests and hobbies
I have a beautiful little dog called Lottie, who follows me everywhere. I also love 80s music, especially Queen and George Michael.
