Dynamic Personal Assistant wanted ~ Join me on my adventures!
I am seeking a fun and open minded personal assistant with a good sense of humour to support me in my daily activities. I currently have 15 hrs per week for a PA as a trial period, these hours will increase once I have found the right fit.
Pay rates are £13.90p/h weekday and £15.10p/h weekend.
I am looking to have self employed p/a’s only and HMRC UTR proof will be needed.
About me-
I'm a 42 yr old woman who is fierce and lives life to the fullest! Last year, I had an accident which resulted in me becoming paralysed from the waist down. Now that I'm out of hospital, I'm looking to step away from my current care provider to find more suited, and grounded personal assistants who I can become familiar with. I am also hoping that once I have found the right person, I can find somebody who will be able to support me to travel abroad and I'm hoping to regain confidence to be in night life settings and attend festivals eventually.
Key Responsibilities:
Personal Care: Provide experienced support with personal care when needed. As much as possible, I like to do my own personal care but sometimes I need support. Because of this, I'm looking for a female PA.
Admin - I'm heavily dyslexic and need support reading my post and responding to bills and hospital letters.
Cleaning: Maintain cleanliness of furniture, ornaments, wet room (inc tiles) and kitchen areas. I would be open to allocating certain hours for cleaning and certain hours for Care each week.
Unpacking Assistance: i have recently moved from my long term home to a new flat and I need help to unpack and organize belongings to make my recently moved flat feel like home. DIY skills would be a plus!
Exercise Support: Assist with leg exercises to maintain my remaining mobility. I would also like somebody who could attend swimming physio with me.
Cooking: Prepare occasional meals as needed. I mostly cook for myself but I do not always have the energy for this.
Accompaniment: Join me on outings in an electric wheelchair for shopping trips
Qualities:
Previous experience as a PA or in a caregiving role preferable.
Listening skills and attention to detail.
Organisation - both in tidiness and ability to help me respond to important letters
I'm looking for somebody who is open minded and fun but also grounded and reliable.
Basic DIY skills are advantageous.
Ability to assist with mobility and personal care when needed.
If you are passionate about helping others and have the skills to create a supportive and enjoyable environment, I would love to hear from you!
