PA required in Norwich to assist a lady with supported activities 2 hrs p/w @ £11.68 p/h - Norwich - NR1

I am a mother of two with several health issues that affect me greatly: fibromyalgia, migraines and asthma; most importantly, syncope, which means I can black out unexpectedly. I am looking to employ female carers only, due to my anxiety. This position is to support me when out and about so we would not spend much time in my home. However, we could be going to a coffee shop, for a walk with our dog or completing the food shop for the week. I will need your help with packing and carrying the shopping because I cannot do this myself due to my fibromyalgia. You will also need to be able to ensure that I am safe should I faint when out and about and pre-empt situations where I could potentially injure myself during a fainting episode.
