Back to PA Vacancies

Those who know me describe me as resilient, determined, polite, courteous, and decent.

I’m in my late sixties, have a visual impairment, and use a walker. I enjoy being active — I love archery and, until recently, played wheelchair basketball, proudly winning several medals. I also enjoy getting outside and make sure to go for a walk every day.

I’m looking for a second Personal Assistant to support me for around three hours each week. The role includes helping me stay organised, offering prompts and encouragement with personal hygiene, and assisting in keeping the main areas of my flat clean and tidy.

I’m very close with my extended family, so I’m looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team — someone who can help empower me to stay independent, keep communication flowing, and make sure I have everything I need to thrive.
