ABOUT MYSELF

I am male in my early 70s and live near Victoria Park Cardiff, I was involved in a motor accident in 1973, and am registered as severely sight impaired Since then I have had no sight at all in my left eye, and only had partial sight in my right eye. At the moment I cant see anything out of my right eye as it has a very dense cataract, I am due to have the cataract removed the end of July but I am not sure what difference, if any, this will make to my vision.

I have some cognitive impairment and my memory is not as good as it was, occasionally, due to these issues I sometimes get frustrated with myself.

I enjoy watching/listening to the game shows on TV.

PURPOSE OF JOB

Due to my sight issues I need help guiding me around with my daily activities in the garden project at Vision 21, Fairwater, Cardiff.

PLACE OF WORK

I live near Victoria Park and will need to be collected by car from my home and taken to my place of work in Fairwater, then taken back home after I finish work ( full driving licence, correct insurance and own vehicle is essential)

The remainder of entitlement can be decided between ourselves provided the correct notice is given
