Are you calm, caring, and love animals? We're looking for someone just like you!

A friendly, independent woman in Cardenden is looking for a reliable Personal Assistant to support her in day-to-day life. She lives with brain damage, anxiety, COPD, and fibromyalgia, but manages many of her personal tasks herself. What she needs is a steady presence to help her stay on track with gentle reminders, support at appointments, and a little help with shopping.

This is a light-touch support role, perfect for someone with a caring nature and a positive attitude. If you enjoy helping others feel confident and safe—and you’re also a fan of four-legged friends (there’s a cat and dog at home!)—this could be a great fit.

You must be:

• Kind, easygoing, and dependable
• A driver
• Comfortable around animals
• Ideally experienced in care (but not essential)
• A PVG member (or willing to join)

What you'll do:

• Remind her to take medication
• Support her to attend appointments
• Help with shopping
• Prompt and encourage self-care activities like showering

When applying, please include a short paragraph about yourself and why this role interests you—this helps the family get to know you.
