Back to PA Vacancies

I am a lady who suffers with arthritis but has a confident personality and very capable of expressing myself assertively. I am compassionate and sensitive to the feelings of others. I have a very good sense of humour and enjoy a good laugh. I see the lighter side to situations, even in challenging times. I am open minded. I like to try new experiences. I love to cook, read, and spend time with my cat who keeps me company throughout the week. I love to spend time outdoors and visit garden centres.

I would like a PA to take me on aided walks and a driver is desirable to go on car outings to see wildlife, go to swimming activities which would help with me with positive mental health, and possibly outings to help to have a change of scenery. Some flexibility would be needed.

I will do as much as I am able, so a PA that is easy-going and a good listener is important. Some manual handling support will also be required but full training will be given.

The successful applicant will be comfortable to provide personal care when needed as some days I need more care than others.

Mileage will be paid when you take me out in your vehicle.
