JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 61 year old man living in the Flemingston area (between Barry and Llantwit major). I have a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease which made me give up work and my condition has only deteriorated since. I worked in the airport and therefore have an interest in aviation. I have also worked on and been around farms all my life so naturally love being outdoors.
I am now housebound with no movement and rely on my PAs for every day needs.
I have an adapted vehicle which my PAs can drive to take me to some appointments but this is not essential.
PURPOSE OF THE JOB
