Back to PA Vacancies

Hello, I am a lady with Multiple Sclerosis.
I normally don't introduce myself in that way but feel it's good to get that out of the way.
I have twin 11-year-old boys and we have two little cats called 'Aphie and Tubs'. I am currently waiting to be paired with a Canine Partner. However this has been delayed due to Covid as dogs currently working in partnerships and needing to be replaced due to age have taken priority and so at the moment there is no news of how soon a partnership will become available.
Whilst I am not a full-time wheelchair user, I do have mobility issues with distances.
I do not require any personal care, but I do need support with job's around the house and whilst outside the house.

Currently my support is reduced due to one of my PA's having to leave to begin early maternity, so it means that I have ability to start the role immediately if possible or work around any notice period needed.

Over night Support will be discussed however it is not part of this role currently
