Job Reference (5d137361)

I'm looking for a friendly, reliable, and flexible Personal Care Assistant to support me with day-to-day tasks and help me manage life with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).

I live with hEDS, a connective tissue disorder that can affect people in very different ways. Because of this, my needs can vary significantly from day to day depending on my pain levels, fatigue, and overall health. An understanding of hEDS would be a bonus, but it is not essential as I am happy to explain how the condition affects me personally.

Hours

8 hours per week
Monday to Friday
Flexible working hours to be agreed
Some flexibility is essential, as my support needs can change depending on my health on any given day

Main Duties

Support may include:

Household cleaning and general domestic tasks
Grocery shopping and collecting essentials
Laundry and clothes washing
Personal care support when required
Organising medication into a weekly medication planner
Accompanying me to certain medical appointments
Helping with childcare-related tasks when needed, particularly taking my son to and from nursery if I am unable to drive due to pain or mobility issues

What I'm Looking For

The ideal person will be:

Friendly, patient, and understanding
Flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances
Comfortable working in a home environment where no two days are the same
Good with children, as my son will often be present during working hours
Ideally a confident driver with a full driving licence and access to a vehicle
Reliable and trustworthy

Important

This role would suit someone who is adaptable and happy to work flexibly. It is not ideal for someone who strongly prefers a strict routine or highly structured work pattern, as my condition means plans may need to change at short notice based on how I'm feeling day to day.
