Vacancy Details

Description

I am a young man living in the Baglan area of Port Talbot.  I really enjoy travelling by bus and I love going to visit Swansea Bus Museum.  I enjoy bowling and going to the Cinema; and I enjoy being out and about and busy. For long distances I may need to use my wheelchair but I am fine getting around shorter distances.

I can be shy to start off with but I am generally a really laid back person and I enjoy being active. Because I am shy, my communication can be slow until I start feeling comfortable with you. I always like to look on the bright side of life and am told that I have a sunny disposition.
