Back to PA Vacancies

Are you looking to help someone bring back their sparkle? Look no further! I am a bubbly, intelligent, competent and honest woman who has a massive love for all things music. Those who know me would describe me as ‘easy to get on with’ and ‘lovely to be around’. One of my favourite things to do is sing and listen to music – I also sing in a choir. I love animals, especially my cat Dave, so a shared love of cats would be great!

I am looking for someone to accompany me doing things I enjoy, and this can range from going for walks along the beach when I am up for it (no matter the weather!), to going to the cinema or theatre.

I have a large collection of incense and wax melts, and more often that not, have candles burning. I also vape so you must be comfortable with this, but it does not bother me if you smoke, you will just have to step outside to do this.

I can have trouble accessing the community, so I would love if you can enable me to enhance my community engagement.

I can have bad days mentally so someone who can cheer me up with distractions is ideal. This could be from helping me to clean my flat to doing online yoga videos with me!

An ideal PA would be chatty, engaging, and proactive – I am open to suggestions on what we can do, so someone with a creative mind would be amazing. Also, there is a need to be able to understand the complexity of my mental health and physical health issues as my life can get busy and confusing! I need you to help me make a positive difference and to improve my quality of life…
