About the Employer

PA required for a young girl who as Cerebral Palsy and needs 24/7 support with her mobility and care. She is an amazing little girl who is happy, funny and a little bit cheeky. We would like a PA to spend time with Hope on a weekly basis at weekends, or school holidays but will also need to be a little flexible for the odd evening. We are mainly looking for someone to play and engage with her at home, take her for walks, or on the bus to build up to other activities. As she is getting older her confidence needs strengthening and so support and engagement from another care giver will help improve this.
