Description

I am a 35-year-old woman living with M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and Fibromyalgia, and I am looking for a kind, compassionate Personal Assistant to support me with day-to-day living. Duties will include light household tasks, laundry, meal preparation, shopping, driving to appointments, dog walking, and helping me attend social and nature-based activities when I am well enough. I share my life with Moth, my wonderful Border Collie, so a love of dogs, wildlife and the outdoors is essential. I am looking for someone who is calm, understanding, non-judgemental and has a good sense of humour. Knowledge of, or willingness to learn about, M.E. and its impact would be highly valued. If you enjoy helping others and would like to make a real difference to someone's quality of life, I would love to hear from you.
