Because I will require daily care this is most likely to be a job-share arrangement. My P.A’s will need to be capable of managing transfers from chair to bed/toilet etc with the use of a hoist. Training will be available. I require some personal care, including washing, dressing and catheter care, therefore females preferred. My P.A’s will also support me with domestic tasks to keep my home tidy and safe, as well as meal preparation ensuring I have appropriate meals to support my diabetic diet. I would like my P.A. to occasionally take me out shopping or for social activities.
