Supportive and Personal Assistant Football- Gentleman WC

Are you reliable, caring, and looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day? I'm a 37-year-old man with Cerebral Palsy, and I'm looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with daily living and help me enjoy the things I love most.

I'm a proud Southampton FC supporter, and I love following the team - both by watching matches and keeping up with fantasy football on my iPad. From time to time, I go to home games at St Mary's Stadium, and I always enjoy the excitement of being part of the crowd. I also have a real passion for trains - especially filming freight trains at the local station.

My favourite season is summer, and I especially love the joy and traditions of Christmas.

I'm looking for someone who can provide personal care support, including showering, toileting, dressing, hoisting, and feeding. You'll need to have a clean driving licence and be confident driving a large vehicle (Ford Tourneo Transit), as we'll occasionally go on days out together. The right person will be agile, reasonably strong, and punctual, with a calm and friendly attitude. You'll also need to be pet‑friendly, as I share my home with a dog and a cat who are very much part of the family.
