Description

I am looking for a flexible and reliable Personal Assistant to support me in managing my home and daily living. I have a brain injury and speech difficulties, so my needs can vary significantly from day to day. Duties may include cleaning and household management through a rota system, support with food preparation and cooking, light personal care such as nail trimming, hair care, and bed changing, as well as assistance with online shopping and computer use. I may also need support attending hospital appointments, accessing my garden and allotment, and occasional help with mobility, memory issues, falls, and meal preparation. Some days may involve little interaction, while on others I may require more hands-on support, so patience, flexibility, and understanding are essential.
