About Me

I’m a 40-year-old man living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). I’m self-employed, run my own business, and lead an active lifestyle.

The Role

I’m hiring a live-in carer to support me with personal care and day-to-day living, both at home and when travelling to work or meetings. I am looking to hire someone to work on either a 2-week or 3-week on/off basis.

Nights

I usually don’t need help during the night. If I do need assistance, I will contact you using an intercom.

Downtime

There will be periods during the day when I’m working independently or spending time with friends/family. During that time you’re free to relax/do as you wish, as long as you remain within the near vicinity and available as needed.

All travel expenses and additional costs will be covered.
