About the Employer

I am a 36-year-old male looking for a like-minded Carer or Buddy to support me in getting out. I love activities like going to the spa, visiting the zoo and farms, catching a film at the cinema, or enjoying live theatre or simply having a day out. All activity related costs will be covered by myself as well as mileage to and from outings! 

If you’re someone who enjoys sharing experiences, good company and making someone’s day better just by being there to support them – this could be the perfect role or you!
