About the Role
I am looking for a female Personal Assistant to support me in my daily life. I live alone in my own flat in assisted living and need support to help me remain independent and continue doing the things I enjoy.
This role involves supporting me both at home and out in the community.

PA's on PAYE are welcome to apply along with SE PA's, this will be discussed at the interview stage.

About Me
I enjoy being active in the community and supporting charity events. I love arts and crafts, specially making handmade jewellery for charity. I also enjoy board games, quizzes, going out for coffee, and anything involving animals.
I am looking for someone who is friendly, patient, reliable, and happy to join in with activities. It helps if you enjoy crafts or community activities, but the most important qualities are kindness, awareness, and good initiative.

What I Am Looking For
I am looking for someone who shows initiative, notices when something may be wrong, and helps keep me safe. It is important that you can remain calm and reassuring during seizures and provide steady support until they pass.
Reliability, patience, and a positive attitude are very important in this role, along with an interest in supporting community activities and maintaining independence.
