JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am 22 years old female living with my mum. I am not very good with roads as I can't concentrate on listening and watching together plus sometimes I am very wary of stepping down off kerbs and steps. I need to hold onto something when going down steps. I live in the Llantrisant area and my friends are all disabled too and live further away so we don't socialise together much unless on planned events organised by our mums.
I like going to the cinema, swimming, walking dogs (I haven't got one but my previous PA had) I love colouring, watching my personal DVD player, singing, dancing, playing CD's in the car, and going bowling. I want to become as independent as I can. I cannot understand money and its values. This is a whole day from 8.00am- 5.30ish.
