About the Employer
I am a man who lives with Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease. This can affect me with my mobility and affects me in different ways daily. Some days I can be fatigued which can make it difficult to do things which is why I require support with my daily living needs. I really enjoy listening to music, playing instruments and I have an interest in photography. I love shooting although I don’t get to do this as often as I like. I have 3 friendly dogs that can be shut away
