JOB DESCRIPTION
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.
