A bit about me:
I am a single female. I live in my own two-bedroom bungalow with my cat. I really enjoy company and like to chat but due to my MS and mobility issues, I find it difficult to access my community. I am a very neat and tidy person and enjoy a routine.
About the role:
My daily visits are to cover lunch, teatime and bedtime. These need to be time specific to fit around mealtimes and taking medication. Ideally, I am looking to build up a team of PAs to complete my needs for 7 days a week.

For this reason, it is exempt under the general occupational requirement section of the Equality Act 2010.
