I am a capable lady in my 50’s who has hypersensitivity caused by an acquired brain injury and whiplash. I am looking for a kind and patient Assistant who has the flexibility and time to support me when I need transport to attend appointments, visit friends and with shopping etc.
I will need help with lifting, finding places, errands to buy/collect things etc. I find some sounds and light difficult and some situations overwhelming so someone who is sympathetic and forward thinking is essential.
I would ideally like someone who is a confident, careful, steady driver with access to their own vehicle. Something like a people carrier or SUV type would be ideal as I can find some smaller vehicles difficult due to my injuries, however a heavier smooth car may work for me. On some journeys I would need to take my well-behaved dog, Tigger. She is happy to travel in the footwell or the boot.
I enjoy getting out and spending time in nature and reading.
