Personal Assistant(s) required for Gentleman in King’s Lynn, PE30 £12.89 ph, up to 20 hpw - King's Lynn - PE30
Job Reference (ea3bdb05)
I am a wheelchair user with a good sense of humour, looking for one or two friendly, reliable Personal Assistants to support me at home and out in the community.
About the role
On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I need support from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. You will help me plan and prepare healthy, nutritious meals, support me to maintain a balanced diet and assist with general household tasks so that I can keep my home safe and comfortable.
On Tuesdays, you will also accompany me food shopping, helping me make sure I have everything I need for the week and can plan my meals effectively.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am looking for support for six hours each day. These longer sessions will give me the opportunity to get out into the community, enjoy activities and days out, and attend appointments or services that are harder to fit into shorter support sessions. I would also like support to build my confidence travelling to unfamiliar places, develop my independence and make more community connections.
A little about me
I enjoy Comic Con events, shows and trips to London. I am also interested in exploring volunteering and employment opportunities. I am a keen wheelchair rugby player and enjoy computer gaming, trading cards and Beyblade.
It would be great to find someone who shares some of my interests, but most importantly, I am looking for someone who is:
- Friendly and kind
- Reliable and organised
- Equipped with a good sense of humour
