**About the Employer**

I am the employer and service user who is looking to recruit a PA for 4 hours per week via my direct payment scheme. I have complex learning difficulties and Dyslexia but I am generally independent and hold down employment.

I'm in the process of moving into my own home in the coming months, so I am seeking a PA to assist me with tasks such as managing correspondence and appointments. Prompting me to maintain my personal hygiene and encouraging me to complete household chores. I will ensure I maintain a clean and tidy house once living independently. This is essential to me being able to comply with my rental agreement and well being.

I find that without support and prompt I would be at risk of hording and allowing my personal space and home to become unkempt.
