Weekend P.A. Support for Disabled Woman Providing Respite and Activities 6-8 hrs @ £9.37 - NORWICH - NR11
Job Reference (54639afa)
Job Purpose
To provide support both at home and out in the community for a young woman with health issues including epilepsy
Location: Heydon, NR11
Details
I am an active, intelligent 24 year old with disabilities, who enjoys getting out and about, going for walks, having lunch in cafes, and attending the theatre and cinema (I like ballet). I would also like my P.A. to sit with me and encourage me to read. As I live with my elderly grandmother, she needs respite, and therefore ideally my P.A would be taking me out for days, and we will cover the cost of any relevant activities. Because of my epilepsy my P.A. needs to be aware and capable of supporting me during seizures. The role would suit a mature person with a young outlook. In future there may be the opportunity to extend hours, and for the P.A. to provide some sleepover support.
