Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 89dfc6cf


Job Purpose:
I am a 36-year-old woman with a genetic life limiting condition called cerebellar spinal ataxia, and I live with my four children. This condition means that I am now a full-time wheelchair user, it affects my limbs, speech and swallowing. I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant who will be able to support me with completing tasks around the home and going out into the community.

I am not able to cook meals so would like help to prepare food for myself and the children. Sitting down to a family meal still means a lot to me.

I would like support to ensure my home is clean and tidy, free from hazards to allow me free access with my wheelchair.

I will need your support to go to appointments or out and about in the community when my partner is not available due to work.

I have been managing relatively independently up to now, however, my condition means my health and mobility will continue to decline.
