Are you a kind, patient and reliable person who enjoys helping others maintain their independence? An opportunity has arisen for a compassionate Personal Assistant to support a 91-year-old lady in her own home, helping her start each day comfortably and positively.
She lives with arthritis and scoliosis, which cause pain and affect her mobility and balance. She would benefit from gentle, reassuring support that helps her maintain her independence, dignity and quality of life.
The role involves one hour each morning, Monday to Friday (five hours per week), supporting her morning routine, preparing breakfast and food as needed, helping her get ready for the day, general tidying and liaising with her existing team of PAs to ensure consistent support.
The ideal candidate will be caring, dependable, organised and respectful, with an understanding of the challenges associated with ageing, reduced mobility and chronic pain. Previous care experience would be beneficial, but a positive attitude and a genuine desire to make a difference are equally important.
If you are looking for a rewarding role where your kindness and support can make a meaningful difference to someone's daily life, we would love to hear from you!
Duties include:
- Breakfast/meal prep
- Getting ready for the day
- Working in collaboration with existing PAs
