Chatty young 40 odd anxious queer ex-smoker seeks PA
Context of the Situation
Seeking an additional person for part time support. She needs help with tasks like paperwork, bills, household tasks, and general organizational support, as well as getting outdoors to do shopping, getting to appointments, and social outings as she faces challenges on a daily basis related to working memory and executive dysfunction. These duties would be shared with her other PA, who typically works twice a week. Initially you would be working two days a week but may be asked to cover shifts that her other PA is unavailable for.
Specific Needs
She is autistic, and likely also has ADHD, which in combination significantly impacts her ability to manage some tasks independently. She is often anxious, and has Complex PTSD / PTSD, and can sometimes be triggered during conversations by words or word associations that seem benign to others. When this happens, it can disrupt her ability to participate in conversations. She has expressed that it is less stressful if the conversation gently continues past the triggering words rather than pausing to address the difficulty.
She is also physically disabled due to a past injury, meaning her arms are quite weak so she struggles with lifting objects that are heavier than a carton of milk, and has difficulty with certain actions such as putting on or taking off her coat.
About Her
She is a chatty young 40 odd anxious queer ex-smoker, with an interest in sciences, music, and games. She enjoys going out for coffees and dark chocolate, walking in parks, and browsing second hand shops.
What We Are Looking For
She is seeking a candidate who is LGBTQ+ affirmative and someone who is reliable, organised, kind, patient and can offer mindful guidance.
