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, this 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.
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 would be throughout the week for 20 hours, 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.
