About The Employer
I am a friendly, outgoing and warm-hearted lady who is very family-oriented and enjoys spending quality time with my family and friends. I am blind, but I am independent, sociable and love getting out and about in the community and would like you help with this. I have a real passion for reading, music and sport. I am a keen Arsenal supporter and enjoy following football, as well as being a big fan of tennis. I’m looking for a Personal Assistant who is outgoing, kind, patient and reliable, and who can support me to enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
The role will involve accompanying me when going out to see family and friends, attending appointments and getting involved in activities within the local community. I will also need support with preparing meals, attending medical appointments and general day-to-day activities. I am also looking for someone who is computer literate, as I would appreciate support with using computers and technology when needed. The ideal person will be friendly, approachable, patient and understanding, with a positive attitude and a genuine interest in helping others. Most importantly, I am looking for someone who will treat me with respect, encourage my independence and become a trusted companion as well as a PA. If you are sociable, caring and enjoy helping someone make the most of their life, I would love to hear from you!
