About him

I’m a friendly young man living in Alfreton who enjoys getting out and about, spending time outdoors, visiting parks and cafés, and baking at home. I have Cerebral Palsy, a learning disability, and epilepsy, and I use a wheelchair, so I need support from two people to help with personal care, moving, and transfers.

My epilepsy isn’t currently under control, so I need constant supervision, but I don’t let that stop me from enjoying life and trying new things. I’m looking for Personal Assistants who can help me explore my interests, build confidence, and get involved in more community and activities.

If you’re caring, reliable, and enjoy helping others live life to the fullest, I’d love to have you join my team.
