Autistic Woman Looking for Cooking, Cleaning & Home Organisation PA (5 hrs per wk)

Hi im a 45 years old woman based in Seven Dials and im looking for one PA to join my care team and assist me over 5 scheduled hours every week either done in one day or split over 2 days in a way that suits both our schedules.

I am neurodivergent and have been living in the UK for the last 11 years. I live alone, have no pets and do not smoke.

I have complex mental health needs, ADHD, complex PTSD and associated vulnerabilities, so I am particularly looking for PAs with understanding of mental health and trauma-informed PA support. Patience, compassion, emotional maturity and the ability to work sensitively with someone who has experienced complex trauma are particularly important and developing a trusting working relationship with my PA is important to me.

Health and nutrition are important areas for me, especially with my health concerns, so I particularly value support that helps me work towards my health goals in a positive and encouraging way.

This role consists of approximately 2 hours of meal preparation and 3 hours of cleaning and household organisation each week.

Meal preparation – 2 hours

You will support me to maintain healthy nutrition by batch cooking one or two meals per week in my home to complement the cooking I already do myself.

Recipes and ingredients will normally have been organised in advance with support from my key PA, so the ingredients should be ready for you when you arrive.

Cleaning and domestic support – 3 hours

This includes weekly cleaning of my flat and practical support to maintain a safe, comfortable and organised home environment.

Tasks may include general cleaning, tidying rooms, light household organisation, sorting rubbish and recycling, taking rubbish to the communal street bins, watering plants and helping me tackle areas that have become difficult to manage during periods of reduced functioning or overwhelm.

An enhanced DBS will be required for this role, if you don't have one, i am happy for you to apply after taking on the role.
