About the Role

I’m looking for a female Personal Assistant to support me in my own home while my main carer takes respite breaks. Most of my daytime support is provided by family, so this role will mainly involve overnight (sleep) support.

Evening carers assist me with getting ready for bed, and a female family member will be present in the house during your stay.

This role includes providing overnight respite for a couple of nights every few months, with flexibility to suit both your availability and the main carer’s needs.

I have Spina Bifida, neurological and bladder issues, and hydrocephalus. I use a wheelchair full-time and am unable to weight bear.

I live with my mother in a wheelchair-accessible ground floor home, and I require support 24 hours a day.
