Personal Assistant for a woman in Chapel Allerton Leeds 7 - 20hr/wk@£12.09 - Leeds - LS7

Personal Assistant required to support a 52-year-old woman with fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome, which causes a great deal of pain, discomfort, and chronic fatigue. I am in need of someone who is flexible and able to adapt to my needs on a day-to-day basis.

At times, this will involve using your initiative and working independently when I am unable to proceed with planned activities due to physical crisis situations.

I require assistance with the following:

1. Liaising and communicating with health professionals by phone and email.
2. Collecting and administering medication during crises.
3. Accompanying me to hydrotherapy and other medical appointments.
4. Help with household chores like cleaning and laundry.
5. Shopping and preparing/cooking meals.
6. Socializing when I am able; I enjoy going to the cinema, bird watching, visiting gardens, and playing word games, especially Scrabble.

The successful candidate must be able to drive and own their own car (expenses provided). Experience in care work is not necessarily needed as training can be given; however, references and DBS checks are required.
