Part‑Time Female (GOR*) Personal Assistant Required
Please note this organisation is not the employer – they are advertising the role on behalf of a private individual who will be the legal employer.
About Me
I live independently in my own home, with family visiting regularly. Due to chronic pain, fatigue, and reduced mobility, I sometimes find everyday tasks difficult or impossible to manage alone. I am looking for a PA who will support me at my own pace, respect my dignity, and help me maintain as much independence as possible.
I am an easy‑going, relaxed, and caring person. I enjoy getting out when I feel able, although I can experience anxiety around this. Having the support of a PA would help me feel more confident and comfortable going out.
I drive and have a car, and I would like my PA to accompany me on outings. I enjoy going out in nature and on short walks, for example, a visit to the botanical gardens. I use a powered wheelchair when out and about and have a hoist in my car.
I share my home with a dog and a cat, so it is important that you are comfortable around animals.
