Additional Information
I am 82 years old but quite active and alert. I attend Clubfit gym twice a week on average and I play petanque and croquet for 3 hours a day three times a week. I was going to volunteer as a Hospital Visitor but I saw this position which would be more interesting for me. I live alone in Gate Pa and I have no fixed demands on my time. I would be happy to work as and when required and would not expect to be employed beyond the times of Covid or this contract. I would like to be useful in the community. I am fully Covid and influenza vaccinated.
