JOB DESCRIPTION

                                      Part-time Personal Assistant

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.
