I am looking for a self-employed support worker to help me to overcome my anxiety so I can access the community and attend appointments and to give my partner a break from her caring responsibilities. I have diabetes and epilepsy which are both well managed with medication and I am Wheelchair dependant.

Ideally I'm looking for a PA who is bubbly, has an outgoing personality, someone who would be up for trips to Hastings, Bexhill and Brighton, someone who has regular slots rather than just fitting me in where they can.

I have up to 18 hours per week available and we can discuss the days and times at interview.
