I'm looking for a kind, reliable, and practical Personal Assistant to help me with daily living and to share some of the things I enjoy. The role includes a mix of personal care, household tasks, and companionship, so it would suit someone who enjoys being active and sociable.

Day-to-day duties include personal care, general housework such as laundry, ironing, and keeping the home tidy, as well as helping to prepare and cook simple, tasty meals. You'll also need to be comfortable handling my electric and manual wheelchairs, including lifting and assembling them when needed.

I love getting out and about, so you'll join me on trips to the shops, the cinema, and for walks with my small dog - so being a pet lover is essential! I swim three times a week at a local spa hotel, so you'll need to be confident around water and happy to assist there as well. If you enjoy gardening, that's a bonus, as I love spending time outdoors, though it's not a requirement.

Smokers are welcome, but smoking must be done outside. What's most important is finding someone friendly, dependable, and patient, who enjoys helping others and shares some of my interests.

If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you!
