Job Purpose:
I am looking for a Personal Assistant to take me out and support me with various activities. Due to my health conditions, I need to keep busy to give me peace of mind and help me to feel calm. I would need someone who has some experience of caring for people with brain injury and is not offended easily. I love going to my allotment and tending to the plants there. However, I can be a bit unsteady on my legs and am at high risk of falling. I would need someone to help me back up should I fall. I may also need some practical gardening assistance, so if you are a keen gardener, that would be a big bonus. Other activities I like to take part in are DIY, fishing, photography, going to the cinema, and swimming, so ideally you would be quite an active person to support me with my hobbies. I will also need support with my medication when we are out and about.
