I’m looking for a kind, reliable, and self-employed Personal Assistant to support me for 12 hours a week, Monday to Friday. My current PA is moving on, so I’m hoping to find someone to start from Monday, 15th September.

I’m a 49-year-old former primary school teacher living with long-term health conditions, including Functional Neurological Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and Type 2 Diabetes. I’ve been living with the effects of Transverse Myelitis since 2002, which impacts my mobility and causes chronic pain.

I use a stick and stairlift indoors, and a wheelchair or mobility scooter when out and about. I live with my husband and two adult children – both lovely and supportive, but one busy with work and the other is about to start university.

Duties include:

Medication prompting/administering
Personal grooming
Other relevant duties as required
Administration
Housekeeping
Shopping
Cooking
Transportation
Companionship
Looking after pets
Dressing / undressing

checking that I don't fall asleep at lunchtime, so I can eat and take my medication.

Reliable with good timekeeping
Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
Hygienic, tidy and well organised
Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties

Honest and cheerful
Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
