About the Employer

I am looking for an additional PA to provide holiday and sickness cover within my team of established PAs, who support my daughter. She is very bubbly and sociable with a good sense of humour and she likes to chat. She enjoys cooking and baking, going out shopping, playing board games, using her iPad and watching TV. She also loves fund raising and has done several head shaves for local charities. She has a brain tumour, which has resulted in physical problems. She has a right sided weakness in her arm, hand and leg and she wears special shoes to assist with her balance. She is also partially sighted and needs guidance when walking outside and using buses. She can walk short distances with a walker but mostly uses a powered wheelchair. She can transfer herself in and out of bed and to the toilet and into the shower. She tries to be as independent as possible but does need some support and supervision.
