Job description

A little about myself:
I am a middle-aged lady, living in the Waunarlwydd area of Swansea. I have multiple sclerosis, which means that I struggle with various everyday activities. Despite my disability, I try to lead as full a life as possible, I enjoy going out and love shopping. I feel it’s important to find someone with shared values, common interests and someone I get on with, rather than someone more experienced in this line of work. Although I will be your employer and will make the decisions, we will be working together as a team, as I believe we will achieve more working together. If you are the right person to support me, I hope you will get a lot out of the work experience as I do. A PA could make a huge difference in my life, by not only supporting me with everyday domestic task, but also to provide support so I can attend community and social activities of my choice.
