About Me:

Hey
I’m Mel, I’m nearly 50! I’ve had MS for 25 years!
I’m friendly and chatty. I love clothes, I have far too many! I take great pride in my appearance, probably too much.
My take on life is a fairly positive one, I try to make the best of everything. I enjoy chair yoga and gentle exercise but I really enjoy watching tv (period) drama and films. I also enjoy watching live amateur youth Musicals. I am a committee member of BMYP! If you know, you’ll know! I’m also quite crafty and I love stationary! I also (weirdly) love paperwork!!!
I live with my husband and my 18-year-old daughter, it was supporting her that brought me to youth theatre.
I don’t get out much as I’d like and would love to go out for lunch with a new friend.
I would like my new PA to become part of our family team as well as helping me to organise and run our home. Our daughter is our world, family is very important to me. As are our cats.

I’m looking for a reliable, compassionate and organised Personal Assistant (PA) to help support me with daily care needs. I need someone to assist me in maintaining my independence.
The role will involve providing personal care, domestic support, some meal preparation, and possibly helping me access the community. You’ll be working alongside my family to ensure I’m well cared for in my own home.

Key Responsibilities:

• Washing & Dressing
• Domestic Support: Laundry, cleaning, and general tidying
• Shopping: Helping with shopping needs
• Community Access: Occasionally assisting with accessing the community (depending on my needs)
• Meal prep: May be required occasionally
• General Care Support: As required, based on the day

Hours and Flexibility:

The role is for 9-10.5 hours per week, and I would prefer the following schedule:

• Monday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
• Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
• Thursday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM

I’m very flexible with times if needed, so if these hours don’t work for you, I’m open to discussing alternatives.

What I’m Looking For:

• Experience: Previous care experience is preferred but not essential. I’m open to training the right person.
• DBS Check: A DBS check is required due to my daughter living at home.
• COVID Vaccinations: I am immunocompromised, so I ask that you are up to date with your COVID vaccinations.
• Gender Preference: I would prefer a female PA for personal care tasks.
• Driving: A driving license would be helpful, as I may need assistance with transportation. I can arrange to have you named on my Motability car insurance if needed.
• Smokers: I’m okay with smokers, but smoking must be outside only.

Desirable Skills and Qualifications:

• Beautician skills would be a bonus but are not necessary.
• Experience with moving and handling is appreciated (hoists are not required right now).
• Experience with personal care, such as dressing and washing, is preferred.

About You:

I’m looking for someone who is kind, patient, and reliable, with a genuine desire to help improve my quality of life. I love to take pride in my appearance and sometimes need help with that! If you enjoy TV and films, musicals, yoga, or love cats, we’re likely to get along well! I


Additional Information:

• Pets in the household: We have cats.
