Back to PA Vacancies

I am a 32 year old lady who is friendly and loves to talk. I am looking for a PA to work as part of a team of carers who provide a 24 hour care regime for me. Hours may vary and could include overnight and weekends and holiday cover for primary carer (mother).

I need someone to assist me with basic personal care and help me to learn and practise independent living skills. Also to supervise me within and outside of the home.

I also require guidance and supervision as I am not always aware of my personal safety.

I have two cats so must like cats and help me look after them from time to time.

I have occasional epileptic seizure - training will be given on how to manage this
