Written by him

I am a recently graduated Global Sports Journalism student from the University of East London. I am looking for a PA to help me with personal care and socialising.

My condition affects my day to day living in the following ways:

I have Cerebral Palsy which causes my muscles to be stiff, so I need someone who is understanding and patient as it can take me longer to do things. I use an electric wheelchair as I cannot walk. I want to be as independent as possible, to get out and about to experience life. I have recently moved up north after being in London and I am keen to discover and explore the area.

My main hobby is sport. I take part in Powerchair Football, and currently represent Sevenoaks in the Premiership, and the England Development Squad. I will need someone who is able to drive me to training on Sundays and help me over weekends (5 times a year for league meetings in Nottingham).

I enjoy a wide variety of music, and I also enjoy playing video games. I love watching football and going to football matches, Im a keen Chelsea fan. Football isnt the only sport I love watching though. Cricket, Rugby, Darts, there arent many sports I wont watch!
