About the role
Im a bubbly final year university student with an active social and academic life, looking for a carer/personal assistant.
A member in my team of personal assistants is leaving due to relocation, which means there is a gap in my rota for the new academic year.
About you
This job has a lot of down-time and would suit someone able to entertain themselves. Many of my personal assistants complete qualifications, online training courses or are students themselves while working with me.
I am looking for someone easy going and reliable, to help me with daily living tasks. For example, while on shift you might help me cook, do laundry, clean, pop to the shops, or help me put on shoes and a coat. I like to have my hair done, and so if you can use hair straighteners and curlers that is fab! You might also accompany me while I am out and about.
My disability is only physical, and I can easily explain what I need help with and when, therefore no previous care experience is needed. Minimal personal care.
