Initially I would like support for one 3 hour block a week while we get to know each other and then consider increasing.

I have a few hobbies which I would like support to access including motivation and prompting.

I am keen to eventually return to work so support around routine and confidence is important to me.

I have previously struggled with care being impersonal so want to develop a strong rapport.

I want to build on my independence I currently have support from my parents but would like to work on my daily living skills for example cooking.

We are looking for a PA who ideally has similar interests, this would be helpful but is not required.
