Summary
Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.
A little about myself:
I’m a middle-aged lady and an ambulatory powered-wheelchair-user living in Loughor. My condition is variable, so some days I need help even to dry my hair and will need to mainly rest in bed, whilst others I can drive us to the local shops and just need help with the physical side of shopping.
Due to staff sickness, I mainly need cover currently for 6–8 hours per week, but anything is helpful.
My speech and concentration can be affected. I need someone who has good timekeeping and can see what needs doing without constantly needing guidance.
Male / female preferred.
