About the Employer

I am a 44 year old lady looking for a kind, caring PA to support me with shopping, keeping on top of letters and correspondence, to attend hospital/GP appointments and to accompany me on social outings. I suffer with depression and anxiety and I have autism. Due to a spinal condition, I sometimes need to use a crutch when walking so I am looking for PA who is a driver and car owner. I am looking for a PA who has experience working with clients with anxiety and mental health issues.
