PA required in Loddon to support a young woman for 10 hrs p/w @ £11.00 p/h - Norwich - NR14

I am 24-year-old woman with learning disability who is looking to employ a Personal Assistant to provide me with social interaction, help me access the community and support me to develop life skills. I enjoy shopping, visiting cafes, bowling and going to the cinema for example. Sometimes, when I do not feel like travelling, we may go for a walk locally. I need someone to remind me and check that I do not leave my belongings behind. At home I will need support with cooking, baking and household tasks. In the future I may decide to do some volunteering so would need someone to support me with that also. Personal Assistant is very important to me because I do not easily engage with other people outside of my family and the successful candidate will help me to avoid isolation and provide healthy social interaction.
