Hi there, my name is Hol. I am a 32-year-old woman. I have two cats, Tat & Trix. I love to cook and bake vegan food. My cakes are legendary in the family and beyond. I love reading Fantasy, Crime and Young Adult novels. I love music and I go to as many concerts as possible. Sometimes with my sister or mum and sometimes with my friend, Corrie. I love walking but recently that has been put on the back burner due to pain in my feet and hands.

I have an acquired brain injury, which is due to a benign tumour that was diagnosed when I was 14. I am now 32. My ABI means that I have a reduced cognitive function which means I have slower processing speeds. I become fatigued quickly and need to recharge with a nap before I can go again. Something else from the gift that keeps on giving, as I like to call my ABI, is that the nerves to my bladder are affected, meaning that I must take medication to manage it. However, this also means that I may need to go to the loo at short notice. Apart from that, I can manage my personal needs myself.

Your role would be to help me go shopping. I like to do a weekly shop at Tesco and then batch cook for the week. To help me tidy and organise around the house. Also, help me manage paying my bills. Change my bedding on a weekly basis. Take my cats to the vets, as they go there regularly. Pick up my meds and help me to reorder them. We may also go shopping at Monk’s Cross or Designer Outlet. All this we would do together.

I do not have my driving licence yet, so you will need to have one and a car. Also, I would like someone who doesn’t smoke. Lastly, I would prefer a woman. If you’ve got this far then thank you for reading to the end.

The Role

The role would be suitable for anyone undertaking online courses or who has creative work e.g. writing that they wanted to get on with themselves while the client is able to manage and will only need to have support within easy reach.

You will provide personal support to a client who suffers from periodic complete paralysis, this role will include the need to aid with toilet needs during periods of paralysis. You will be a constant presence but also able to observe without intrusion on occasion, a good relationship and highly established trust with the client and his wife.

Due to periods of complete paralysis you will need to be fit and comfortable with some manual handling. Generally this is limited to repositioning limbs and ensuring comfort, not the lifting and handling of a whole person.

Provision of transport could be a part of the role, and the ability to drive would be considered beneficial, but not essential. The client has a vehicle on which you would be able to be insured to drive, but can no longer drive themselves.

A complete and up to date DBS check is required for this role.

Hi, my name is Jade, I am 30 years old, and I have physical and mental disabilities that restrict my mobility and social interaction. I have anxiety and I struggle with new places and people initially but once I relax and feel comfortable in your presence, I am extremely chatty, I love to help people as much as I can because I believe kindness costs nothing. I am a huge dog lover and when I am out in the community, I cannot resist engaging with all the dogs I pass. I currently have two gorgeous elderly dogs who I love caring for.

I am looking for a personal assistant to join my household who can assist me with accessing the community and enjoy the natural surroundings of my community with my two dogs, so a keen nature lover is a must as I love to get out with the dogs. I may require you to complete this activity solo if I am unwell.

I do get fatigued quite quickly after any activities, so I require my PA to also support me with domestic duties around the home.

I would like to find someone who holds the same interests as me so we can enjoy the activities I would like to explore, together. I enjoy bowling, ice skating, go karting, board games, boat trips, wordsearches, playing pool, bike rides, fine dining, coastal visits and horse riding, which I am hoping to begin soon. I also attend a choir once a week which I would require my PA to accompany me to, and I love a cinema trip.

If this sounds like you, please apply.
