About the Employer

I am looking to recruit a personal assistant for my 31 year old son living in Horncastle with complex physical conditions due to his cerebral palsy. He is wheelchair dependent, has limited use of his arms and hands, is doubly incontinent, and communicates slowly. His interests are similar to those of most 31 years olds. He loves watching sport and listening to music. He is interested in cars and enjoys getting out of the house for walks. He likes shopping too. My son is easy to get on with and has a warm nature. He enjoys company and being around others. This is for personal care, dressing, and assisting with breakfast.
