Are you looking for a few extra hours work each week? Are you friendly, kind and sociable? I am looking for a support worker to go out for coffee/lunch with once a week or help me with some tasks around my home. I live with my teenage son and have a passion for cooking and baking, my speciality is banana cake! I am a qualified chef but have not been able to work for a while due to my poor health and struggle to use my own kitchen as it is not very accessible. Having a support worker to help me access the community will really make a big difference to my life. I would love to go for coffee or lunch, access a swimming pool, visit a gym or park. Even just supporting me in my home to do some baking or a few chores around the house if I am having a bad day would give me a massive boost. I have poor mobility and use a walking stick to help me move about. I experience pain on a daily basis and do struggle with my mental health/anxiety. I would describe myself as outgoing, bubbly and a creative person who enjoys the company of others.
