Personal Assistant for Disabled Adult, Household and Daily Living Support including Personal Care (POSTED 27/10/26)

I am looking for a reliable, organised, understanding and proactive Personal Assistant to support me with personal care, everyday living tasks, household organisation and accessing services.

I have disabilities which affect my physical functioning, mobility, energy levels, concentration and ability to manage everyday activities consistently. I experience chronic pain, fatigue and difficulties with organisation and executive functioning, which can make routine tasks difficult to complete independently.

**Personal care responsibilities include:**

- Assistance with washing and dressing as required.
- Support with personal hygiene and daily routines.
- Emptying and cleaning my commode.

**Household and practical support includes:**

- General cleaning, tidying and organising my home.
- Helping to maintain a clean, safe and manageable living environment.

**Administrative and organisational support includes:**

- Making telephone calls on my behalf and assisting me with accessing services by telephone, as I have difficulties using telephone services independently.
- Contacting organisations, service providers and professionals to resolve queries, arrange appointments and manage issues.
- Supporting me with accessing services and ensuring information is communicated and followed up appropriately.
- My support needs vary from day to day depending on my pain, fatigue and other symptoms. I am looking for someone who can adapt to these changes and use their initiative to identify what needs doing.

It is important that the successful applicant is practical, efficient, patient and respectful of my independence and preferences. I need someone who can work alongside me, provide assistance when required and complete tasks independently without needing constant direction.

Experience supporting people with physical disabilities, chronic pain, fatigue or executive functioning difficulties would be beneficial. Experience providing personal care is also desirable.

Reliability, good communication, discretion and a positive attitude are essential.
