But you will also chat to me, partake in activities such as baking, knitting, fused glass making in my home kiln and a myriad of other hobbies I enjoy.

Despite needing a significant amount of help, I do like to try have some independence. You will be trained in all aspects of the role & I will guide you while performing tasks.
