Enjoy collecting things, photography, or socialising? Want to make a difference in a person’s life?
I am a man in my late thirties looking for someone with significant work or life experience who can bring creative thinking to a role that will be both challenging and deeply rewarding.
My love of collecting things, coins, in particular, is important to me and I want to be supported to do this safely and productively. I am interested in veganism and enjoy eating and sometimes cooking vegan food. I have a great sense of humour and am a master of the one-liner. I am inquisitive and enjoy a wide range of music, YouTube videos, often about cars, and binge-watching TV series. I’m also really keen to find ways to spend time with dogs. I’d find it challenging to have a dog at home, but I love spending time with them.
The right candidate will assist me approximately 15 hours per week in pursuing my interests while being a role model for developing my social connections. I am keen to find a girlfriend and develop the social skills to make this happen. Workday tasks involve supporting me in managing my home and assisting me in having positive relationships in my community.
The successful applicant will be patient, have strong social and negotiation skills, and appreciate the complexity of human behaviour. They will also be organised, practical, reliable, motivating, and enthusiastic. This role involves working closely with my family, my support team leader, and the support team around me to deliver support in line with my vision for a good life.
