Job Description:
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a severely disabled gentleman in my mid-fifties.
Many years ago, I was offered a Cynon Taf Housing Association house after a long wait on the housing list. It is a semi-disabled-adapted property in Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
I moved to Llanharan after living with my parents near Pontypridd. I have several conditions affecting mobility, cognition, and memory, including strokes, epilepsy, angina, and degenerative spinal issues.
I use an electric wheelchair, have a hospital bed, and can drive my accessible van. I seek a carer who can also drive and is insured for driving a large wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
I have interests in IT, have run a business, worked in forensic nursing, and as a funeral assistant. I enjoy sports like rugby, archery, and shooting, and wish to pursue new hobbies with support.
