Am I the right person for this Care Assistant job?

Medcom is hiring a care assistant for a friendly and active Irish man with a spinal cord injury. Despite his injury, which he's had for many years, he remains highly independent, spontaneous, and busy. He leads an active lifestyle and is looking for a care assistant who can support him in his daily activities while respecting his independence.

He has a car he uses for daily trips out, therefore he will need a carer who can drive. This role will suit someone who enjoys a physical and active role as the client transfers frequently.
