Are you a bit weird and wonderful and enjoy having random conversations or doing random things? Then you’re just the person that I’m looking for to support me.

I have an energetic and soppy German Shepherd dog, that we are training to be an assistance dog, so a dog lover is essential.

My abilities change daily, I need support with housework, food preparation and personal care. I also have four hours per week to complete a more thorough house clean.

I have a hearing impairment, I do lip read, you will need to be able to speak clearly and face me when having a conversation with me, so its important that you speak English to a high standard.

Due to my health conditions, I often have medical appointments. I need someone to support with the travel there and back, attend the appointments with me and take notes, and perhaps wait while I undergo a treatment. These appointments are not weekly, but could take up a whole day, so I need someone who will have the flexibility in their schedule to be able to support me on an ad hoc basis.
