CDPPA to Adult

Job closes 14.03.2026

I am a man in my 30s living in Grangetown Cardiff. I am keen to learn how to cook healthy meals, rather than relying on takeaways et cetera. It’s also important to me that I get out and about. I enjoy walking and cycling, electronic music, dance music, rock and also like the 70s era. I’m particularly interested in playing the guitar and I have a keyboard.

I am interested in military and in dark periods of history. I also like going to the gym. I’m a very intelligent individual, but need support to overcome barriers. I also need help to plan and organise myself. The job and associated tasks may expand in time depending on how my skills develop.

To help me with bills, my skills and confidence as well as accessing the community.

As detailed above, you will initially be based at my home and then help me to access the local community and wider area.

I would need support on Mondays but can be flexible when needed. I have 3 hours per week.
