Description
An opportunity has arisen for a kind and understanding Personal Assistant to support a lady living in Falmouth to maintain her independence and enjoy activities in the local community.
She values calm, kind and emotionally aware people and enjoys nature, animals, walking, nutrition, good conversation and exploring great local places in Cornwall. She also loves fashion, interior design and art, so it would be great if you had similar interests.
The lady is neurodivergent and lives with PTSD and developmental trauma. She lives a relatively normal life, but would appreciate supportive company to go for a walk, have a coffee, visit Cornish places, access local activities, groups or services, or simply have a supportive conversation.
Due to an accident, sometimes her back goes into a severe spasm, which can temporarily affect her mobility. During these periods, she may need short-term practical daily support until it settles. This would include food preparation, grocery shopping, assistance with washing and dressing, and general support while her mobility is limited. It would be great to have a PA who could accommodate this, if needed.
Essential requirements
Applicants must:
Be self-employed
Hold a current Enhanced DBS (or willing to get one)
Hold the relevant insurance
It would be desirable to hold a full driving license and have access to a roadworthy vehicle
Terms:
This role requests a self-employed person to provide services directly to the client. You will be paid by them and not our organisation.
