A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I’m a lady in my early 90’s, living in Penarth, looking for professionally minded, caring Personal Assistant to be flexible to support my independence whilst my daughter is away on business and we need a little helping hand to support on a regular base. 

My daughter rightfully describes me as a great lady living in a wonderful home. I am educated, articulate, intelligent, fully able, smart and delightful. I have slight physical challenges with an arthritic hip; it is very painful and I am still trying to adjust to the right medication to manage the pain. Due to macular degeneration I only have 10 percent of vision. Other than that, my cognition is spot on.

HOURS OF WORK

12 hours per week, made up of 4 x 3 hour blocks

Weekdays and weekends which can be flexible to suit.

RATES OF PAY

£12.00 per hour

Mileage to be discussed in interview.
