“Hi, I am a happily married 77 year old gentleman, I recently lost my sight and now live in a small dark world. I am looking for a motivated individual with excellent communication skills and a good sense of humour to support me in getting out and about; to brighten my life and bring new meaning and positivity to my days. I need minimal support with some aspects of daily living. I know my home and do not need much support moving around it. I find going out challenging and need more support when outside.
Prior to losing my sight I was an active outdoor man and used to enjoy salmon fishing, sailing and walking.
I enjoy a coffee and a lively discussion and I am looking for a male support worker to work in my home as part of a rota and flexibly. Someone who is local, savvy with technology such as laptop, Ipads and I phone, that can support me with basic household handyman tasks. Preferable but not essential”.
