I am a woman in my 40s with MS. I live with my son and husband, and our pet cat.

I am a friendly person, with a good sense of humour. I like to see the brighter side of life and laugh at things when they invariably go wrong. I am a glass half full kind of person. Where there's a will there is a way!

I am looking for a female PA with a similar outlook on life, to help me get dressed and get up on Saturday and Sunday, prepare lunch and to help prepare for a roast dinner on Sundays. I would also like support with some domestic duties around my home.

I am a wheelchair user and use a hoist to transfer, so knowledge and experience would be desirable. I am very independent and like to do as much as I can, and be involved.

Please apply and ask questions around hours if you are interested.

  • Medication prompting/administering
  • Personal grooming
  • Moving and handling
  • Other relevant duties as required

  • Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
  • 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
