Job description

Introduction

I am in my mid 60’s, a wheelchair user. I am an Amputee. I have a lung disease and need support with daily living. I also take regular medication. It takes me some time to get used to new people. I used to enjoy crocheting and knitting prior to having issues with arthritis. I like to do word searches to keep my brain active. This also helps me to spell as I am dyslectic, and this helps with my anxiety. I paint by numbers on my phone. I had a stroke some time ago, at times I might not finish my sentences. However, my mind still sharp, I have varied experiences, including having a care background and I have worked in probation.

• Support with my daily routine.

• Assistance with meal preparation.
• Help to maintain a clean-living environment.
• Support to access the community.

Desired Experience
