Female Support Worker / Personal Assistant (PA)- PUR-188-684
I am a lady in my 60s living independently in my own home in Armthorpe. I have
spina bifida and am paralysed from the waist down. I use a powered wheelchair
and have good upper body strength, but require support with many day-to-day
tasks, personal care and transfers. I also have lymphoedema/lipoedema affecting
my legs, recurrent cellulitis infections and a pressure wound which is monitored by
District Nurses. My family have supported me for many years and I am now
looking to build a team of caring and reliable Personal Assistants to help me
remain independent and continue living life happily in my own home. I enjoy a
good chat and value kindness, patience and a sense of humour.
