Job description

About Me

Hi there! My name is Matthew. I have a huge heart, a great sense of humour, and I love good music and Coronation Street! I live in Airdrie with my parents and our little schnauzer, Tilly.

A couple of years ago, I moved here and I’ve been finding it hard to meet someone who can support me in doing the things I enjoy. I have Down syndrome and a learning disability, and while my mum is also disabled and my dad works a lot, I’m ready to find someone who can help me get out and about more — and most importantly, have fun!

About the Role

I’m looking for a kind, friendly and reliable person to support me in living my life to the fullest. I’d love someone who enjoys a good laugh, good company, and is up for joining me in activities such as:

• Going shopping or for a coffee
• Visiting the gym and getting active again
• Meeting my friends for a disco
• Going to music concerts
• Cooking or baking together in the kitchen (cupcakes are my favourite!)

Requirements

• Must have a driving licence and access to a car
• Be patient, fun, and supportive
• Be willing to help me build my confidence and independence

Hours

24 hours per week to start with, with the potential to increase over time.

Hourly rate

£13.00 per hour

Contact

If you think you’d enjoy spending time with me and helping me make the most of life, please get in touch! Email my dad at [e-mail] to arrange a chat. I’m really looking forward to meeting you!
