Personal Assistant for lady in West Runton - 6 hours per week @ £12.38 p/h

Job Purpose:
I am a friendly lady with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Parkinson's who is seeking a female personal assistant to support me with everyday living tasks such as personal care, light housework, meal prep, paperwork and to collect my prescription from the pharmacy. I require someone who can work Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm.

Due to mobility issues, I am not able to get out of the house a lot and use a wheelchair to move around my home. I require assistance with washing my hair and putting cream on. I also require someone who can prepare me a light lunch and perform light housework duties such as changing the bed and vacuuming.

There are times when, due to my Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, I can be quiet. Strong smells can also be off putting to me, as such I will require someone who will not wear perfume while working.
