JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

GENERAL INFORMATION

I am a lady living in the Canton area of Cardiff. I have Cerebral Palsy, so I need assistance to live the life I want to lead. I have a speech impairment, which means sometimes it is difficult to understand me. I am always willing to repeat myself. I need someone who is lively and fun to be around. A person with a bright bubbly personality is the most important thing.

I like going to the cinema, pubs and clubs, eating out and shopping! I also enjoy going on the Internet.
