I am a young man looking for a Personal Assistant, I am an energetic individual who enjoys walking and loves Football, I also enjoy going to watch Motherwell FC (I have a season ticket) and Carluke Rovers. I also train with the Motherwell Disability Football Team.

I work at Finsbury’s in Hamilton packing, and I get up at 6am, when I am not working, I get up around 8am.

You’ll support me with laundry including ironing, meal prep and supermarket shopping. Support for social events including visits to Dentist, Doctor and Hearing Aid Clinic. Occasionally Universal Credit Office.
I would love to work with someone who shares my passion for sport particularly football and would be possibly prepared to stay over should my parents be away although this is not essential. It would also be good if you could introduce me to more social events.
I live in Law so it’s important you’re comfortable working in this area.
