JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 23-year-old man living in the Llantrisant area. I am a friendly and approachable person once you get to know me. I enjoy a variety of activities, including visiting beaches and exploring castles. One of my main hobbies is photography, so I often take my camera with me when I am out and about. I drive my own car and enjoy visiting new places, so I would like a Personal Assistant who can accompany me on outings and help me discover new locations. I would also appreciate support with shopping, meal planning, and developing my skills and confidence in preparing my own meals.

I am a keen fan of Michael Jackson and support Liverpool Football Club, which are topics I enjoy talking about. I would like a Personal Assistant who is friendly, easy to get along with, and able to support me in maintaining my independence while enjoying the activities that interest me.

I have autism, so large crowds and lots of noise can sometimes be difficult for me. If I become overwhelmed, I may need some space or may walk away, so I would appreciate you to being aware of this when we are out.
