Back to PA Vacancies

I am a 34 year lady with complex medical problems and a wheelchair user.  I live at home with my mum and cockapoo puppy.

I am a big Harry Potter fan and love spending time doing Harry potter Lego; I’m currently working on my third set and have many more picked out to do!

I like art, diamond paintings, painting and new crafts. I love walks along the beach, going to parks and coffee shops and going out for lunch. When at home, I love watching films and The Big Bang Theory, and listening to my favourite band, Busted.

I enjoy learning new things from my PAs and I am always open to ideas. I do like routine in life; knowing when and how things are going to happen is very important to me. I am physically quite disabled, so I use an electric wheelchair to get around and have a permanent catheter. I have a ceiling hoist to make things easier. I also have learning difficulties, so need help with paperwork and filing. It affects me socially, so I am very quiet until I get to know someone.

I'm looking for a dynamic and adaptable person to help with personal care and help to enrich my daily life both at home and getting out into the community.
