Hi, my name is Tiago. Can you help me live life to the full?
I am looking for a personal assistant to join my team. I am a typical young adult with a wicked sense of humour, and I lead an active life. I like to hang out and play Xbox and Dungeons and Dragons; when you're gaming, you're free of your limitations. I enjoy outdoor adventures like sit-skiing. I study Games Development and Coding at college. I sometimes find my cerebral palsy annoying, but I try to stay positive and persevere to overcome challenges.
I live in a spacious house, adapted to my needs with a well-equipped room and an automatic vehicle for my personal assistant team to use on shift.
The role will involve you working with my family, team leader, therapists and other support workers. Although the role does include working alongside other members of my support team, the role is mostly 1:1 working. This position requires you to work and conduct yourself in a professional manner. This job will suit somebody with a positive attitude towards inclusion. You will need to be physically able to carry out my therapy program and be confident using assistive technology (with training).
