The client is a man who lives in a villa with his wife. He needs help with daily life. He uses assistive devices such as a wheelchair and a lift. As an assistant, you will help with physical support and also provide some sighted guide assistance when the client uses his wheelchair, as he has limited vision.

Your Profile

To fit into the role, you need to be able to take initiative and enjoy casual conversation. A plus is if you enjoy watching sports or horse racing.

To get to the client, there is a bus stop nearby with good bus connections. If you have a car, there is free parking.
