Job description

I am a 33 year old friendly, sociable woman with a physical disability who loves making the most of life. I work in IT both from home and in the office and enjoy getting out into the community. I love swimming, travelling, shopping, visiting cafés and taking part in creative activities, especially crocheting. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I absolutely love animals. I have a wheelchair-accessible van, making it easier to get out and about.

I am looking for a kind, reliable and patient Personal Assistant to support me at home and in the community. Personal care is an important part of the role, as I take pride in my appearance and wellbeing, including support with my hair care. I also appreciate support with everyday tasks, such as meal preparation, helping me to remain as independent as possible.

Some days I’ll be ready for an adventure, while on others my chronic pain or fatigue means I need to take things more slowly. I’m looking for someone who can adapt to both, help me stay calm when I’m feeling overwhelmed, enjoy a laugh, and keep me company on quieter days. I’m looking for someone who understands that some things take me a little longer and can help make everyday life a little easier while supporting my independence
