I require support with showering and dressing, prompting medication, and assistance to access the community by driving me to places such as football matches and garden centres. At home, I would like someone who can work alongside me on household tasks rather than doing everything for me, so I can remain as independent as possible.
A good sense of humour is essential, as I cope best with light-hearted conversation and positivity. If you're interested in making a genuine difference in someone's life, we'd love to hear from you.,
