Summary

A personal assistant is required to support a friendly and independent man in his mid-30s who has a visual impairment and uses a wheelchair. This is a social and practical support role, ideal for someone who enjoys good conversation, has a positive attitude, and is comfortable getting out and about.

The role involves assisting with paperwork and day-to-day planning (such as budgeting and organising appointments), as well as accompanying on social outings — including trips to the gym, visits into town, meals out, and other social activities. Occasional support on holidays (fully funded and paid) may also be part of the role.
