JOB DESCRIPTION
FEMALE Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a female in my mid fifties, young at heart and living in the Ystrad area and I have a Labrador. As a result of an industrial accident, that has affected my memory and has caused PTSD, depression and a myriad of complex health needs including COPD and chronic Lymphedema on my left leg. I have also recently been diagnosed diabetic, so my risk of infection is much higher. I am a wheelchair user with limited mobility, I can drive but only very local.
At the moment, I would love to develop my skills with my DSLR Cannon Camera and enjoy the odd sci-fi and action and adventure movies. I have a phobia of specifically opening post and letters, and in turn this can make me feel quite anxious. I use a home automation and voice assistants with majority of my appliances like lighting, heating and home security. I am still in the process of setting this all up.
PURPOSE OF JOB
I would really like to employ another PA to join my existing PA who can help me be organised. You would also be required to cover annual leave/ sickness, which you would receive appropriate notice for. Support me with my schedule and appointments, along with general household chores and personal care. I have an elevator to help me get up and down the stairs I can self-transfer. I would require supervising and assistance in the bathroom and shower and to help me maintain dignity. The bathroom is semi adapted; it has a level access shower.
