About Our Client

Our client is looking to recruit a team of Personal Assistants to add to the current team he has in place. He has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and is a keen sports fan, particularly football being a season ticket holder at Tottenham Hotspur. He obtained his degree and Masters in Creative Writing from Winchester University and enjoys writing screenplays. He relies on the assistance of dedicated caregivers to maintain their independence and well-being. Your responsibilities will encompass every aspect of daily life to ensure their comfort and quality of life.

As written by him

I have a varied number of hobbies and interests, including growing chilli peppers in the garden, and playing video games especially Halo and FIFA. I really like music and film especially Inception and The Departed just to name a few. I love sport and will watch pretty much anything. Unfortunately, I do support Tottenham Hotspur and have a season ticket for my sins (Arsenal fans may apply but please have mercy!). Still, if sport isnt your thing then dont worry, Im sure we will find something to chat about (maybe not clothes and make-up mind!).

I ideally need a carer who is positive, friendly and hardworking. I will always treat a carer with respect and am usually a polite, mild-mannered gentleman. My care is obviously important to me and I have a routine that works. I will need my carer to be genuinely warm-hearted, patient, and empathetic.

I look forward to working with you.

• Previous care experience (Essential)
• Great working attitude
• Physical fitness, patience, and a caring nature
