Job Purpose:

This condition means that I am now a full-time wheelchair user, it affects my limbs, speech and swallowing. I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant who will be able to support me with completing tasks around the home and going out into the community.

I am not able to cook meals so would like help to prepare food for myself and the children. Sitting down to a family meal still means a lot to me.
