Lady in North Walsham seeking a PA for 6 hours per week @ £16.66 p/h - North Walsham - NR28
Job Reference (3a0d1f34)
Job Purpose:
I am a friendly lady with Multiple Sclerosis and mental health difficulties who is seeking a PA to help me maintain my household and assist me with everyday living tasks. This will include duties such as; domestic care, personal care, food preparation, social and leisure activities and assistance to meet my parenting needs.
I live at home with my daughter, and I am currently pregnant with my second child. As my daughter is getting older, the burden of responsibility on her as a young carer becomes greater. Someone who is able to bridge the gap, so that the impact on her is not as great would be ideal. This will include taking her for social outings, such as appointments for young carers.
I am struggling to accept that, at my age, my health needs are so significant, and I am still going through a journey of acceptance. Due to my poor mental health, I can become stressed and avoidant, and take on more than I can physically handle. I would like someone who can anticipate my needs and reassure and encourage me to rest when necessary. As such, someone with an awareness or working experience of mental health difficulties would be ideal.
I am seeking a PA for 6 hours per week. I would ideally like this to be during working hours, over three days a week for 2 hours each, between the days of Monday and Friday. The exact days and times of which are negotiable at interview.
