About the Employer

I am an older Gentleman that lives at home with my wife. I require someone to mainly support with socialising and accessing the community. I like talking about growing up in Birmingham,and football. I Like to visit places in Birmingham at times on the train, I am interested in cars/planes etc. I like listening to music e.g. Frank Sinatra and other old crooners! I use to play golf and can still have a go on the driving range or at crazy golf.
