JOB DESCRIPTION
Temporary Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I’m looking for a PA for my 31 year old son who lives with me in Efail Isaf, RCT. He’s a fluent Welsh speaker. He has Muscular Dystrophy (which is a slowly degenerative condition) but is able to walk independently with the aid of a stick. He also has some learning difficulties. Despite his condition he is always happy, although he does lack confidence and needs to form a good relationship with a PA to help him with this. He loves all genres of music, gaming and chatting but is looking for someone to share some time with. He has a good sense of humour and enjoys cooking and eating good food, the garden, and getting out and about in the car.
This is an opportunity to join an amazing group of positive, amiable people who work with him! Our home is always full of laughter!
