Summary
Meet Zack – a music-loving guy with a sharp sense of humour and an interest in reptiles. We’re on the hunt for someone just as quick-witted and down-to-earth as he is, who can bring positive energy, patience, and creativity into his world.
Contract: Zero hours/Bank
Right, here’s the deal. Zack’s got a dark sense of humour — the kind that makes you laugh, then immediately question your moral compass. He thrives on banter, so if you’re easily offended, you should probably not apply and instead settle for a nice safe puzzle book.
Your job? Help him stay active — gym sessions, moral support, and a confidence boost without morphing into a budget reality-show trainer. He plays wheelchair rugby (aka Murderball), grows plants, plays guitar, games, and watches a variety of shows and documentaries. He’s also a reptile guy — the snake-owning kind, not the kind who joins suspicious Facebook groups — so you’ll be helping to clean their habitat and handling them like it’s no big deal.
Zack uses a wheelchair, has an acquired brain injury, and sometimes requires help with planning and needs a hand in the shower (calm down, it’s a job, not a Channel 5 documentary). He’s got a daughter, so you need to be good with kids – the kind of person who can be silly and playful without taking over. He wants someone supportive but not the sort of person who swoops in with a wet flannel every five seconds. Independence is the name of the game.
If you’re energetic, can cope with snakes, and see challenges as opportunities, you’ll fit right in. It’s a lone working role with a 4-hour daily break while Zack does his own thing. The interview will test your creativity and problem-solving skills — so if your best idea comes from Googling “how to be interesting,” brace yourself.
