About the Employer

I am a 19-year-old young woman living at home with my family and I am looking for two Personal Assistants to support me for 4 hours, twice a week. The role is designed to provide my parent with some respite while supporting me to enjoy activities and maintain my independence.

I use a hoist for transfers, and full training will be provided, so previous experience is not essential. On occasion, I may also need support with food preparation and personal care.

I am looking for caring, reliable, and patient individuals who are willing to build a positive working relationship and support me in a respectful and person-centred way.

If you are kind, dependable, and interested in making a positive difference in a young person's life, I would love to hear from you. Please apply for further details.
