Job Purpose:
I am an elderly lady looking for a Personal Assistant to offer reassuring support and give my husband time to rest.
Location: Watton, IP25
Details:
Your support will help me feel safe and comfortable so I can enjoy daily life and continue doing the things that matter to me. I value my independence; you would be building on my strengths and gently offer help where it is needed. Changes in my mobility and cognition mean I may feel unsteady, unsure or overwhelmed in unfamiliar environments.

By being a trusted person alongside me, you can offer guidance and reassurance while supporting my wish to stay independent and involved in daily life.
