Hello, I’m Mary and I’m a 77-year-old lady who is totally human and wheelchair dependent. I’m looking for a personal assistant to join my team of carers who take care of me 24/7. I’m partially sighted and wear hearing aids. I enjoy an organic diet and love to sit in my conservatory listening to books with my Jack Russell, Eric, on my lap.

I live in a fully adapted bungalow complete with hoist and I use a power chair. I love to go for walks with Eric when I can. I forgot to mention you need to like dogs and I do need you to pick up after him.

The role is for 13 hours per week, all worked in one day a Saturday, 8am till 9pm. There are also opportunities to pick up extra hours when cover is required.

My personal care routine involves assistance with showers, toileting and transfers (using a hoist – full training provided) meal preparation is part of the job as are some light household duties. I would also like someone who has full driving licence as I have an adapted van and like to go out on occasion, shopping or appointments. You must be over 25-year-old for insurance purposes.

The role is about supporting me to live independently, and I am looking for someone who can work as part of a team and can help me make each day and enjoyable and fulfilling.

If this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.
