Are you a kind, reliable and caring person who enjoys good conversation as much as providing practical support? I am a 73-year-old gentleman living in Eastbourne, and I am looking for a Personal Assistant to help me maintain my independence and enjoy daily life.

Following a series of strokes, I have limited mobility affecting my left side and am unable to stand without assistance. I am looking for someone to support me with personal care, meal preparation and companionship. A patient, respectful approach and a good sense of humour are important to me.

When I'm relaxing, I enjoy watching snooker, history programmes and current affairs, and I always appreciate someone who enjoys a stimulating conversation. I also used to play the guitar and have been a lifelong David Bowie fan, so if you share an interest in music, that's a bonus!

If you are compassionate, dependable and would enjoy supporting an easy-going gentleman while building a positive working relationship, I would love to hear from you.

Medication prompting/administering
Personal grooming
