About the Employer


Martyn had a road accident age 15 in which he suffered a severe brain injury and around 6 years ago was diagnosed with early onset dementia.

He now requires some more support around day to day tasks and personal care but also someone to provide company and help his socialise.

He spends a lot of time alone but likes to be around others, loves a joke and has a great sense of humour.

His speech has been affected so will need someone patient and understanding who also shares his sense of humour and will be in his corner.
