Vacancy Details

I am a 47 year old gentleman living in the Upper Neath Valley area. I enjoy watching football on TV and I used to watch Swansea City home games when I was able to get out of my house without support. I would in time like to do this again, but this is not my number one priority now. What I really need, is someone to help me to access the community and use buses where needed. I am unable to use a car at the moment due to requiring wrist surgery, therefore it would be unsafe for me to attempt to get out of my wheelchair and into a car until this has healed. Due to my condition, I am unable to self-propel and I would need my PA to push me in my wheelchair.  

• To take me out on the bus shopping to places such as Morfa Retail Park and the town centre etc. 

• Taking me to the cinema etc. 

• Take me to appointments such as the doctors and dentist and some others. 

• Generally, just to leave the house in my wheelchair and to get on busses, and sometimes to just explore my local area in my wheelchair. 

• Someone who is empathetic 

• Someone who is reliable and trustworthy

• Someone who is flexible

10 hours per week, to be completed over 2 weekdays. 

These weekdays can be flexible, and can be discussed during interview.
