Are you looking for an exciting role that is fun, diverse and rewarding every day?
I am a 49-year-old lady with different health conditions which include autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I also have mobility issues and use a crutch indoors and an electric wheelchair outdoors, with this I can get depressed at times.
Despite this, I have a great sense of humour and a light spirit. I am semi-retired and work as a counsellor 3 to 4 days a week in the afternoons.
I have many hobbies, such as photography, building dollhouses, and quilting.
I am looking for a personal assistant (female due to the nature of personal care work) for Mondays, Thursdays (optional) and Saturdays in the early mornings (7:30 am to 9am) to complement the position of another Personal Assistant for an 11 month fixed-term contract.

Thurs and Sat: Preparing breakfast, helping with personal care, preparing a hot meal with "Hello Fresh" and a protein shake for dinner. You will also remind me to take my medication and prepare my lunch pack for work.
Monday: The same as the above. The additional 2 and ¼ hours are for social hours, which include activities indoors when I am not feeling very well, such as helping me with organising my life and outdoors, going out to medical appointments, healthcare appointments, Veterinary appointments, going for coffee with or out the two dogs, etc.
Person specification:
- Enthusiastic about communicating
- Person-centred manner
- You need to like dogs and cats (I have 2 very friendly cocker spaniels and 2 cuddly cats).
- Covering the other carer when she is sick and/ or on holiday is also important.
- Using technology such as a Google calendar and a WhatsApp group to communicate is necessary for this job.

I embrace diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and cultures. I also welcome applications from people from all walks of life and encourage applications from the LGBTQ+ community.
An interview will take place at my home when it is convenient for both parties. When a time is suggested if it's not suitable please suggest suitable times for you (Monday and Friday afternoon if possible).
I look forward to meeting you.
