What you would be doing:
Giving me support to motivate me and to give me confidence.

To be with me when I am taking a shower as my balance is not good, and I am not able to walk outside unless I use a stick.

I require support and assistance with accessing social and appointments, support with household task, meal preparation and shopping. Some flexibility is important due to my hospital appointments, and support with social outings. Help with getting my cats to the vet if needed. Establish a close working relationship on a one-to-one basis.

The person I would like:

I am looking for a person who can work with me not for me, and you should be able to use your initiative.

Someone who enjoys being active, who has the skills to give me support with promoting my independence. Some knowledge and experience with working with people within their own homes would be useful. You must be a car owner/car driver, as you would be supporting me to hospital/GP appointments.

You should have a genuine interest in the provision of high-quality care, be able to work flexible hours and be a good communicator, be hardworking, reliable, committed, honest, and trustworthy with cheerful a sense of humour.
