About me

I am 28 years old and have chronic health conditions which affect multiple aspects of my everyday living. I have recently become a parent, so am adapting to this big change in my life. I have a small team of personal assistants to enable me to live like any other 28-year-old who loves parenthood, their pets (5 rats), gardening, music, and cooking.

Having a small baby, life can be a bit unpredictable, which may mean the hours need to change slightly. The ideal candidate will be flexible with hours you can work. I am aiming to regain active participation in my local communities after pregnancy and the lockdown. My PA must be willing to facilitate this and be able to fulfil a role, often physically active, helping me to do tasks, which I am unable to complete without this help.

You need to have:

• An awareness of Autistic Spectrum Conditions
• An awareness of the impact of living with chronic pain
• An awareness of environmental issues
• An awareness of parenting tasks

Tasks will include:

• Supporting me in my role as a new parent.
• Support to access the community e.g., baby groups, music, craft workshops, gardening, activities involving animals etc.
• Support me to take care of day-to-day activities & household chores.
• Support me to plan menus, shop, and prepare meals.
• Cooking / preparing meals.
• Support me around managing personal care.
• Support me to attend medical appointments and achieve positive outcomes.

You need to be:

• Comfortable around babies and animals, especially rats.
• Supportive of and comfortable in the LGBT community, especially trans people.
• Cheerful, friendly, sociable, and truthful.
• Reliable, competent, practical and self-motivating.
• Confident and willing to learn.
• Respectful of your employer and their environment by being able to support their routines and requests.
• Able to work independently, complete tasks you start and use your own initiative, so I can avoid micro-managing.
• Knowledgeable of how to maintain a hygienic, safe and accessible home environment.
• A good adaptable communicator.
• Imaginative and creative.
• Someone with a good sense of humour and fun (or have the capacity to put up with my terrible puns).
• Able to leave any personal issues you have at the door, so we can have appropriate boundaries.

Rewards:

• Free training and development
• A warm and friendly environment

The successful candidate will have had or be willing to have their Covid-19 vaccinations.
