Let us introduce you to James:

James loves music and has an eclectic taste from Oasis and Fleetwood Mac, to Eminem and Tupac. He is a big Celtic fan; however he won’t mind if you support another team as he’ll enjoy the friendly banter! His family is very important to him and will continue to be close to him.

Up until his accident James was like any teenage boy; he loved going out with friends, meeting girls, having a good laugh and living life to the fullest. As a trainee mechanic he was passionate about cars and was about to embark on his first car restoration project. He enjoyed live music gigs and hopes to get back to these some day. He also enjoyed fishing trips with friends, but rarely got a catch!

James has a Traumatic Brain Injury and has specific support needs, so your role as Personal Assistant will include assisting James with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling and meeting his health needs whilst expanding his social networks and connections.

A typical day could be supporting James with personal tasks within his home, maintaining his house, supporting with his daily physio, helping him to stay connected to his family and assisting him to have new experiences and connections within his community. His family dogs will also visit James, so you will need to be a dog lover.
