JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am 35 years, non-binary and currently living in the Barry area, but I am looking to relocate to Cardiff (Canton). I enjoy photography, nature, food and coffee.

Sometimes I can get fixated on details, become overwhelmed and lose track of time. I am looking for a personal assistant to support me in the community and in my home, I find it difficult to read non-verbal cues, so I will need someone who is clear, direct and open with their communication.
