"I'm looking for a Personal Assistant (PA) to help me with care needs, whilst living and working from home."
"My interests are mostly sport related. I love watching football (Liverpool FC!) I play wheelchair rugby, basketball and train at the gym up to 3 times a week. I also enjoy socialising at the pub and fancy watching a few games at the local football stadium. I'm also a keen gamer and play PS5 regularly. I have quite a dry sense of humour and want someone who can give a bit of banter too."
