A bit about me:
I am a positive, caring and friendly lady living in my own home in Devizes. At present, due to a spinal injury, I am bed bound but still trying to be as independent as possible. I am a massive animal lover and my beautiful house rabbit is an incredibly important part of my life. I am therefore looking for PAs who would not only support me but are animal friendly and would be willing to help with her care including cleaning out her indoor hutch and ensuring that she has adequate food and water.
About the role:
Being currently bed bound means that I am looking to recruit at least two PAs who can work on a rota system to ensure that I have 24/7 care and support. As part of my team I am looking for PAs who will be willing to carry out general household cleaning, prepare and cook my meals, shop for food and general supplies. Support with household admin would also be appreciated in terms of emails and paperwork. Because of my condition, personal care is needed although again, I do try to be as independent as possible and I am able to carry out my own spinal care. Hoist experience would be a useful asset. PAs will have their own room and bathroom and in normal circumstance I need little or no support during the night.
The kind of person I am looking for:
Friendly and approachable, responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Someone with a positive nature, good communication and social skills. Able to respect confidentiality, privacy and be sensitive to my needs. To understand that dignity and independence are important. Be willing to learn and have the ability to work on your own initiative.
