Job Purpose: To provide support to lady with physical disabilities.
Location: NR24, North Norfolk
Details:
I am a friendly, cheerful lady who has a spinal injury and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which causes me to have functional strokes. This can impede on my mental health at times. I enjoy being outside as much as I can, relaxing at home or going for coffees at independent cafes and tea rooms. I also enjoy paddling at the beach, the woodlands and any type of crafting! I need a personal assistant to support me with personal care, supporting with light meal preparation, and household tasks such as cleaning and paperwork. You must be comfortable providing personal care, as I experience double incontinence. Ordinarily I am mobile with a walking stick, but my condition may fluctuate and I may need some support with moving. I have a pet cat.
