We are looking for a back-up female personal assistant (PA) to cover illness and annual leave, of another worker. It is a role that is likely to expand and involve more regular hours in future. The role is to support a happy and relaxed, good-humoured, transgender woman, to remain independent in her own home.

This lady is living with a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and if you have any work/life experience of this condition, that would be an advantage.

She has enjoyed playing different instruments throughout her life and has an interest in a wide variety of music and appreciation of nature and the beach. It would be ideal, though not essential, to find someone like-minded in this respect, to establish common ground.

Initially you will be required to support with practical tasks within the home and attending medical appointments, so you must be a car driver, with use of your own vehicle.

As a positive, understanding relationship is fostered, there will be more personal tasks involved e.g. bathing and dressing. Meal preparation, medication administration and possible healthcare tasks will potentially become part of this much valued role, the hours for which may increase with time.

The successful applicant will be sensitive, tolerant, open-minded, supportive and reliable. If you feel you could help to overcome some of the challenges faced by this resilient woman, we look forward to receiving your application.
