I’m a wheelchair user living independently in Stokes Croft. I’m looking for one or more dependable personal assistants/carers to help with daily routines and build a mixture of regular and backup cover.
Duties
- The work may include personal care, dressing and shower-related support, preparing simple food and drinks, laundry, light household tasks and practical daily help.
- No nursing or medical qualification is needed, and no lifting is required.
- I manage all medication doses and inject my own insulin; a PA may bring items to me or give an agreed reminder but would never decide or guess a dose.

- Reliability, punctuality, practical judgement, respectful communication and comfort with personal care matter most.

- Occasional longer help may be arranged separately, and exact slots would be agreed individually.
Hourly Rate £15 per hour.
