I am a ‘young’ 73-year-old botanist, artist, and grandmother, residing in Aberystwyth.
I am in search of a support worker to help me with daily routines at home and assisting me to access my local community, shops, and other things I enjoy.
I can walk around my flat in short stretches and require the use of a wheelchair for longer distances or when out of the house. I rely upon one of my arms for tasks but the other is uncooperative. So will require assistance when two hands are needed.
I would like my support worker to assist me with my arts and crafts activities. Helping me to set up and prepare my paints, brushes, and other materials.
To get out and about I need a support worker who can transport me to my chosen locations and is able to assist with my manual wheelchair. This can include trips into town, the arts centre, gardens, and galleries or a bit of shopping. Outings further afield will be mutually agreed in advance.
As part of my daily routines, I require assistance with showering and dressing in the morning. I would also like help around the kitchen with food preparation and baking, including some light domestic duties.
