The first programme sees our young disabled people interviewing potential candidates, and the successful applicants getting to grips with the many challenges of personal care. At university, 23-year-old Michael Cattermole's hobbies were sport, partying and girls, but an accident on a night out two years ago has left him paralysed from the neck down. Having been through almost 50 carers in a year, Michael is hoping to find someone who he feels comfortable with. 24-year-old Rupy Kaur is a psychology student with cerebral palsy. She's living with her extended family of 12 people in Manchester, but is looking for a switched-on carer who can help her find a house of her own, and help her become more independent. 21-year-old Josh Robertson is currently making waves on the London comedy scene. He suffered brain damage in a quad bike accident when he was 11, and is looking for a carer who can go out and party with him, and help him meet girls. Jasmine Rankin is a 21-year-old receptionist from Taunton, Somerset with spinal muscular atrophy. She is looking for a carer who can tackle both boozy nights out and her intimate personal care. Both the employers and their carers are pushed far out of their comfort zones, physically and emotionally. And after an intensive trial period, will it prove to be a match made in heaven, some people's idea of hell, or the start of a beautiful new career? In part one, Michael's carer Denny Lee struggles with Michael's care needs, especially bowel management, Josh's carer Francesca battles with Josh's crude humour and his love of boozing, and Jasmine's carer Emily tackles the intimate personal care with aplomb - but fails dramatically on the domestic chores front.
In the final programme, the new carers are pushed further out of their comfort zones as they help their employers face real-world challenges away from the home. With the possibility of a real job offer at the end there's a lot at stake for everyone. Michael's carer Denny Lee struggles with his bowel management come to a head, forcing her to question whether this is really the job for her. Josh's carer Francesca is shocked to be asked to take him to the red light district in Amsterdam so he can have sex. Rupy's carer Chantelle comes to terms with the stark realities of finding accessible homes. Jasmine's carer Emily must prove herself on the domestic front to have any chance of being offered a job.
