JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 58 year old man living in the Flemingston area (between Barry and Llantwit major). I have a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease and this year have been forced to stop working. I worked in the airport and therefore have an interest in aviation. I have also worked on and been around farms all my life so naturally love being outdoors.

I am now a wheelchair user and have an all-terrain wheelchair for when going out to the seaside or for when I go out with my dog on harder to traverse terrain. 

I can still drive currently using my adapted vehicle and would like to keep driving as long as possible to remain as independent as I can. I am looking to get a new adapted vehicle to suit me more so currently would need help to transfer to my vehicle.
