About the employer

Of the 8 hours support I would require 3 hours of social support, 3 hours support with domestic duties then 2 hours support with personal care. Personal care support might be just being nearby while I am showering because I need an adult nearby just in case I pass out or slip. Helping me get back to my bedroom safely afterwards. Sometimes it might be helping me wash my hair or back. Sometimes I need help with dressing. Domestic chores like washing up, hoovering, mopping. Maybe running the tumble drier. Social support in the community things like swimming, shopping out for coffee etc. May sometimes need support with meal preparation. I am allergic to cats, dogs, guinea pigs and chihuahuas which means that unfortunately I cannot come into contact with anyone who may be in contact with these animals..
