Due to my acquired brain injury, I have difficulty keeping my household paperwork up to date and this increases my anxiety.

I require support in new social situations.

I am looking for a flexible PA to assist me with my household admin including paperwork and making telephone calls. Additionally, I am looking for support accessing the community including attending motorbike events or a darts match.

I have a motorcycle workshop in Rusper and need to catalogue the parts I have and arrange to sell my stock, support with this would be great, but not a dealbreaker.

  • Companionship

  • Correspondence e.g. reading letters, help writing replies, form-filling, assisting with household paperwork

  • Accompany employer when accessing social and leisure activities e.g. motorbike events or a darts match
  • Accompanying employer to doctors/hospital appointments when required
