I am a bubbly 24yr old man looking for support with accessing social and leisure activities. I enjoy going to my local football club and writing match reports. I also enjoy going bowling and meeting up with my family and friends. I need some support with my personal care but all training will be provided. You may be required to attend medical appointments with me so it would be an advantage to be able to speak and read English well. This is a very rewarding role and I believe we could build a great working relationship.
