Back to PA Vacancies

I am young at heart, very sociable and love to laugh and chat .

I love going to the theatre, dining out and am a member of a curling club.

I like watching TV, listening to music and using Facebook to keep in touch with friends.

I am very independent and manage most personal care tasks myself but will need assistance with some aspects of getting dressed when my arthritis is bad.

Sometimes I can struggle with managing my emotions so am looking for a non-condescending and patient PA to treat me as an equal.

Some days you may be my only visitor apart from my very friendly cat, so it’s important to sit and have a cuppa (or 3!) and natter.
