About the employer

I am a 37 year old lady who is a wheelchair user, and I am looking for a female PA to support me to access the gym and to go swimming. The PA must be a driver/car owner with a boot big enough to fit my wheelchair. I am looking for support to improve my fitness, to lose weight, and to build my confidence when accessing community facilities, particularly the gym. Due to my current support needs I require assistance from a Personal Assistant to access these activities safely and consistently. I am self sufficient, but due to Fibromyalgia and other health issues, I get tired easily so I will need support with dressing and changing clothes before and after activities. I may also need support with emptying my stoma while out of the house.
