About Me
I’m a wheelchair user, disabled by a chronic illness that leaves me very exhausted by small things and makes moving difficult. My daughter is a gorgeous, sometimes challenging 9-year-old who loves to sing and play with Lego. She has autism and Selective Mutism.
I’m looking for somebody to join the little team of people who help us live a wonderful life despite my illness.
My Requirements
I'm a disabled parent, looking for a self-employed PA or two to join the lovely team of people who support me and my daughter.
Some people who've helped us before have had previous experience with PA/care work, others have had experience working with children, and some have never done this kind of work before and have done brilliantly.
We need support with daily tasks & parenting tasks, housework, cooking and laundry. We also need someone to support us to get out and about e.g. to choir, church, concerts, swimming and to the beach. Some of the shifts include supporting my daughter directly, e.g. babysitting, taking her out or playing with her at home.
We need help at various times of the week, but they can be covered by more than one person, so whatever your availability, feel free to get in touch!
- Ad Hoc cover work available, at various times of day throughout the week & weekend
- Regular shifts available in the mornings (7am-10am), after school/evenings 3-9pm, and weekends (these can be covered by more than one person, so whatever your availability, feel free to get in touch!)
- We especially need extra help over school holidays, especially Christmas, so if you have some availability over the holidays do get in touch! This isn't essential, though.
- There's some flexibility with shift length - e.g. longer shifts available (e.g. 8-12 hours) on some days, if you prefer a longer working day!
We need someone flexible, caring and with an understanding or willing to learn about autism and fatigue-based chronic illness. If you can drive that would be useful, but not at all essential.
I have council funding to pay £17 an hour.
