Overview
Personal Assistant for a young woman 27 hr/wk @ £12.38/hr in NR28. Location: NR28. This post can be considered a job share between two PAs. Shifts may be split to fit other commitments.
I am seeking a compassionate, reliable, and proactive personal assistant to help with my day-to-day activities, daily living, access beyond the home, and provide some companionship. I enjoy baking, art, animé, spending time with family, shopping, swimming, getting out with my dog, computer games and camping. I use pacing to enable me to go out, so some days will include outings and activities but on other days I will stay at home to stay comfortable and recover. Your understanding and adaptability to these fluctuations of health are crucial.
This role involves assisting with daily life activities and supporting an environment that promotes independence.
Job location: NR28. The post is suitable for job sharing between two PAs and shifts may be split to fit other commitments.
