Job description

Please note we are NOT able to offer sponsorship for this role and therefore will not be able to progress any candidates who require a certificate of sponsorship to work in the UK.

Meet our client:

I am a 45-year-old male with a severe brain injury following an RTA. My behaviour can sometimes be unpredictable, especially around new people, as I can be anxious until I get to know you properly. Once familiar, I have a great sense of humour, enjoy ‘banta’, and like to wind people up and play pranks with my young son.

I have two children: a son with autism and ADHD, and a daughter. They are my main motivation for my rehabilitation.

I enjoy playing board games, trips to the zoo, bowling, amusement arcades, walks on the beach, and walking my dog. I used to be a chef, and with your support, I look forward to cooking and baking again, especially baking with my children. I love listening to music; I’m a Pink Floyd fan and also enjoy The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Paul Weller, and Santana. I enjoy going to concerts, dancing, watching comedy shows like Netflix’s Shameless, and live football, especially Liverpool FC.
