About me

I’m 32 years old and I’m looking for a Personal Assistant who can help me with personal care and to support me to go out into the community. I’m a very happy chappy who is nonverbal and has complex needs. I am tube fed, have a catheter and I also need hoisting as I cannot bear weight. I like to go bowling, to the cinema and to the zoo. You will always be working with one other carer, and previous experience is essential for this role; however, training will be given. Please note, I do not smoke and I have a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
