About Me

I am a friendly and easy-going 54-year-old lady living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I work part-time and am looking for a Personal Assistant to help me maintain my independence at home.

I enjoy having a chat and would love to find someone friendly, reliable and understanding who can support me with day-to-day tasks. I share my home with my cat, so it is important that you like cats and do not have any allergies.

Experience of supporting someone with MS would be beneficial, although the right attitude, patience and willingness to help are just as important.

What You Would Be Doing...

You will also provide personal care support, including assistance with showering, help me attend medical appointments, support me with shopping trips, and provide friendly companionship and conversation while helping me maintain my independence.

As the role involves personal care, including assistance with showering, I would feel more comfortable with a female carer. This is an occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

The Person I Would Like...

I am looking for someone who is friendly, approachable, reliable, trustworthy, kind, patient and respectful. You should be comfortable working independently and happy to provide practical household support. Being a good communicator who enjoys conversation is important, as is being comfortable around cats and not having any cat allergies.

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential, as you will be required to drive me to appointments and support me with shopping trips when needed.
