About our client:

"I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to support me with my personal, social and domestic needs.

I am a young female and I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2, which has profoundly weakened my voluntary muscles, resulting in me being unable to weight-bear. As a result, I am a full-time powered wheelchair user, my respiratory system is compromised and the majority of my nutrition is met via a gastrostomy.

I graduated from university in 2022 with a master's in chemistry 1st class honours. I am now working as a medical writer.

I live at home with my Mum, Dad, and dog. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my free time visiting National Trust parks and zoos, as I am also very interested in animal/wildlife conservation and climate change. I am a massive Disney, Disney Parks and musical theatre fan! I also enjoy music, my favourite artists being The Script, McFly and Taylor Swift. I enjoy baking, crochet and crafting using my smart cutting machine. I also enjoy shopping and going to the cinema.

I need PAs to physically support me during my time outside of work and be able to drive my Motability wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Applicants must be kind, patient, discreet and caring.

A clean driving licence is essential as I would require you to drive my automatic Motability vehicle WAV.

Past care experience is preferred but not essential, as full training will be provided".
