Full Job Description
I am a lady in my early 60s living in the St Athan area with my husband and son. I have two small, very friendly French Bulldog-sized dogs and a cat.
I have limited mobility due to bone-on-bone problems and a crumbling back. I use a range of walking aids, including a wheelchair.
I enjoy crocheting, which I taught myself during lockdown and have continued ever since. I also enjoy reading. I am a quiet, pleasant and easy-going person and I am looking for someone who is kind, patient and reliable.
Purpose of the Role
I am looking for a kind, caring and dependable female Personal Assistant to support me with my morning personal care routine, helping me to get ready and start my day comfortably and confidently.

Cleaning the shower area after use.

Assisting with light practical household tasks, where time allows.

Ensuring my safety and wellbeing at all times.
Providing patient, respectful and person-centred support.
Person Specification
The successful applicant will:
Have an understanding of and awareness of my mobility needs and conditions.
Be female, as the role involves personal care.
