A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 27-year-old man living in the Llantwit Major area with my family and dog. I am a massive fan of music and collect records. My music taste does vary but I generally like heavier music. I also like to go to concerts. My other interests include watching films (particularly horror films), gaming on my PS5, doing arty things and I am an animal lover.

I suffered a stroke and can only use my left arm. I cannot walk very fast or very far. I visit a speech therapist as I do find speaking hard and can struggle to get out what I wish to say.

PURPOSE OF JOB

I am looking for a PA to support me to build my independence, develop basic life skills and to help me to access the community and take part in social activities.

HOURS OF WORK

5 hours per week available. Ideally these will be worked on a Friday but there is flexibility to this.
