Part‑Time Female (GOR*) Personal Assistant Required

I am seeking a compassionate, reliable, and caring Personal Assistant (PA) to support me with complex medical needs.

About Me
  • I live independently in my own home, with family visiting regularly. Due to chronic pain, fatigue, and reduced mobility, I sometimes find everyday tasks difficult or impossible to manage alone. I am looking for a PA who will support me at my own pace, respect my dignity, and help me maintain as much independence as possible.
  • I am an easy‑going, relaxed, and caring person. I enjoy getting out when I feel able, although I can experience anxiety around this. Having the support of a PA would help me feel more confident and comfortable going out.
  • I drive and have a car, and I would like my PA to accompany me on outings.
  • I enjoy going out in nature and on short walks, for example, a visit to the botanical gardens. I use a powered wheelchair when out and about and have a hoist in my car.
  • I share my home with a dog and a cat, so it is important that you are comfortable around animals.
The Role

The goal of this role is to empower me to live a fulfilling and comfortable life while receiving the care and support I need.

Responsibilities
  • Assistance with personal care, including bathing, dressing, and grooming (when required)
  • Mobility support, including assistance in and out of my wheelchair
  • Support with meal preparation (e.g., chopping fruit and vegetables)
  • Assistance with light household tasks such as changing bedding, hoovering and cleaning the bathroom
  • Prompting to take medication when required
  • Emotional support and companionship
  • Accompanying me to hospital appointments and support with communication if needed
  • Accompanying me to shops and assist with carrying items
  • Being flexible and responsive to changing daily needs
About You
  • Experienced in a care role, ideally supporting individuals with disabilities, chronic pain, or fatigue
  • Compassionate, patient, empathetic, and positive in attitude
  • Reliable, trustworthy, and professional
  • Able to follow guidance however, also be intuitive to my changing needs and when required able to use your own initiative to support me.

If you think you will be a good fit for this role, I would love to hear from you.

Applicants will need a PVG membership or be willing to join.
