About the Employer**:

Interested in working in social care? Please read on to see how you can make a difference.


I have a C5/6 spinal cord injury (broken neck) resulting in complete paralysis below the shoulders, partial paralysis of the arms without any hand or finger dexterity.

Consequently, I am wheelchair bound and require personal care as well as assistance with daily tasks and activities. Regardless of injury, I enjoy life to the full; I'm active and outgoing, self-motivated and strive for independence in everything I do, and I am seemingly quite humorous too

Summary of Duties**:


I am looking for someone energetic and outgoing as a Personal Assistant, providing one-to-one support with living independently including all aspects of daily life; personal care, domestic tasks and shopping, as well as support with activities such as daily keep fit, wheelchair rugby, cycling, swimming, art projects, gardening, woodwork and craft projects etc.
