Summary
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a full-time wheelchair user, in my 30's living in the Ely area of Cardiff. I have an average of 16 hours a week available. I have very supportive parents although I live alone and I’m keen to be as independent as possible, within my limitations. For safety reasons, it’s difficult for me to cook without supervision, but I’m keen to develop my skills. You will also need to be able to travel with me, including staying over when I’m visiting friends I am also a foodie. If eating good food is your idea of fun, you have just found the perfect job! I’m an easy-going guy and have a very loving cat living with me. I also love going to bingo, cinema - watching horror films although my disability makes me jump a lot, but I really don’t care! I also enjoy going to pedal power, bowling and just generally getting out and about. Mileage expenses will be paid you will be responsible for arranging business cover on your car insurance.
PURPOSE OF JOB
