This job is for 1 day (6 hours) per week on any day of your choosing, including Saturdays and Sundays.
Description: I am female, in my 30's, with Spina Bifida and CFS/ME, and I am looking for a PA to support me in my own home. I am looking for someone who will help me to live life to the fullest and be a friend rather than a carer. Running errands and doing some housework will be necessary as part of the job role, including but not limited to: laundry, vacuuming, general tidying of the home, & preparation of simple meals ie a sandwich. It is essential that you can drive and would need to have a full driving licence to drive us around when we go out. A typical working day (after some light housework has been done) will involve driving us to a country park for a walk and to enjoy the natural wildlife, possibly followed by a tearoom pit-stop. I use a light weight manual wheelchair and you will need to handle the physical skills of lifting and bending to put my wheelchair into the car when necessary, so good general health is important. On the odd occasion when I am feeling unwell or fatigued, I will need you to push me in my wheelchair. I would prefer applicants to have some understanding and empathy around Mental Health and ME/CFS. It is very important to me that you are compassionate and friendly, you will also need to be flexible and punctual. There may be occasional times when I unexpectedly need your assistance at short notice or extended hour/trips away. The above is not an exhaustive list of duties and you may be requested to undertake other tasks as and when required to commensurate with the role of a Personal Assistant (PA).
