Overview of role: I am looking for an additional PA to support me in my own home to enable me to live as independently as possible.

My PA will be confident in facilitating my conversation with others and be a strong advocate. My team of PAs work on a rota basis, provided 4 weeks in advance. Start time is 5.00pm and I rarely need any physical support during the overnight sleep-in shift.

Continuity is key for me and my team; therefore, you must be able to commit to this role for a minimum of 1 year.
