I am a wheelchair user but can transfer independently onto chairs and into cars. I am articulate and friendly with an outgoing personality. I can express myself clearly to identify any needs. I like to be as independent as possible around the flat. My current carers say that working with me is a very friendly and rewarding experience.

I need help organising and remembering things. I also need somebody around overnight, sleeping in the bedroom next to mine.

I love cooking and baking. I like to try recipes from Mary Berry and Hello Fresh. What You Would be Doing:You would need to have a clean driving licence and be aged over 25 years old to drive my Motability car to different activities and appointments. I may need some support in arranging these appointments. I have spinal rods therefore I need some support with dressing and undressing, some assistance is required with showering and helping me to reach things. I need assistance with using my standing frame and supervision with my physiotherapy programme. I really enjoy cooking and I like to help as much as possible. I do need support with this. I like to clean my flat regularly and I need encouragement to do this and support with areas I cannot reach.
