About the Employer

I am the employer to my daughter and seeking a PA to provide casual hours of support a week to offer social activities and offer companionship. The role will be to support her in the community in her chosen activities and assist her in her independence. This will also allow us a break from our caring role My daughter has learning difficulties but enjoys most physical activities such as going to the gym, she loves swimming and generally likes to be quite active She enjoys the theatre and live bands, so would occasionally require a PA to support and attend with her on special occasions My daughter has a prosthetic eye and whilst most of the time manages this herself, she may require some assistance to maintain/clean and replace this- Training would be provided for anyone who may assist. She has 2 permanent PA's who deliver the hours so a casual would cover holidays/sickness , The role will be to help build upon those who are in her support network .
