Job description

Personal Assistant/Support Worker NPT/LS

Contract: Permanent Part Time, 6 hours per week (with the possibility of additional hours)

A Little About Me

I am a woman in my early 40s who lives with Aphasia and mobility difficulties. Aphasia affects my ability to find the right words, communicate in full sentences, understand conversations, and sometimes read or write. While these challenges can make day-to-day life more difficult, I am determined to remain as independent and active as possible.

I enjoy music, including attending live music events, and I love arts and crafts and my cat. Before my illness, I was very active and enjoyed travelling and going on holidays.

I like getting out and about, going to the gym, and keeping my home and garden tidy. Due to mobility difficulties, I use a motorised wheelchair for longer distances.

The Role

I am looking for a Personal Assistant who can support me to:

• Access community activities and social opportunities
• Manage correspondence and assist with shopping
• Transport me to and from the gym
• Provide support around the home and garden
• Maintain my independence and support me with everyday tasks
