About me, the client:
I have a committed and dynamic small care team and I am looking for additional care staff to join. I am an independent man in my early 30’s who has Cerebral Palsy and I am a wheelchair user who needs assistance in all aspects of daily living. I have some complex health needs but this does not stop my zest for life and I enjoy going out during the day, for this reason day staff will need to be able to drive my vehicle.
