A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a female wheelchair user in my late fifties and I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to join my team. I need assistance with all aspects of personal care, washing dressing etc I have a ceiling track hoist and no experience is necessary, as all training will be given. I love going out socially shopping, cinema, theatre, food and meeting up with friends. I also enjoy nights in watching television and I like to keep up and chat about all the soaps and reality tv. I like to think that I am a fun, friendly sociable person to work with so I’m hoping that you will be like minded. Many of my existing PA’s have worked with me for over 15 years! So, if you’re up for something different and want to make a difference then why not get in touch?
