Introduction

I am looking to recruit a temporary Personal Assistant for approximately 6–8 weeks to provide cover whilst my regular PA is unavailable.

I have lived with MS since the age of 18 and I am a wheelchair user. I enjoy watching nature programmes and would like support to experience more outdoor activities and social opportunities independently of my family.

I would like assistance to pursue interests such as fishing, bird watching, visiting places of interest, attending social gatherings, going to the cinema, arts events, or simply enjoying a coffee outing.

I have an adapted mobility vehicle, therefore no lifting is required when travelling out and about.

Main Duties

• Support me to access the community and pursue my interests and hobbies

• Help me with shopping

• Drive and accompany me to activities and appointments using my mobility vehicle

• Be mindful and considerate of fluctuating energy levels due to my condition

• Support me to identify suitable activities, groups, and social opportunities. I like to attend the MS group meeting at the Starling Cloud Wednesdays 12-2.30

• Assist with planning and attending outings and activities

• General support in my flat with tidying and paperwork

• Provide companionship and encouragement to help me maintain independence
