I am seeking to employ a team of Personal Assistants to support me at home and in the community, enabling me to live independently and enjoy a good quality of life. A key part of this role is supporting me to make the most of my rural surroundings, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the peaceful countryside that Mid Wales has to offer. I am looking for outgoing, positive individuals who enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same, with opportunities to spend time in a calm, scenic environment away from busy urban settings. The role will include:
* Supporting me with personal care routines, including washing, showering, dressing, and applying skin cream throughout the day
* Assisting with household tasks, such as cleaning and food preparation
* Accompanying me in the local community, including transport to and from appointments and activities
* Providing calm and reassuring support in busy environments such as high streets, shops, and local amenities
* Supporting me to enjoy the outdoors, including gentle walks, fresh air, tending plants and spending time appreciating the fields, lanes, and countryside surrounding my home
Essential requirements:
* Access to your own vehicle
* Business use insurance, as you will be required to transport me in your own car
* A calm, supportive manner and good communication skills
This role would suit someone who values nature, fresh air, and a slower pace of life, and who enjoys supporting someone to live independently in a rural setting. If this is something you feel you could help me with, I would be pleased to hear from you.
