Sunderland, United Kingdom Penderels Trust Full time

**Job Ref SUN15676MB1 - Sunderland, Tyne and Wear SR3**

**About the Employer**

I am both the service user and employer seeking a PA to assist and support me in accessing social activities and provide some companionship.

I have a diagnosis of Multiple Systems Atrophy which is a rare neurological condition similar in nature similar to Parkinson's Disease. Symptoms are such that: Someone with MSA will often feel lightheaded, dizzy and faint after standing up. This can cause risk of falls as I can often have episodes where control is lost. I reside at home with my father and the support would allow me the opportunity to access the community, provide some independence and minimise my isolation within the home.

I have a love of dogs and would welcome a PA who would be willing to have me accompany them on walks, following the loss of my own.

I have access to a wheelchair which can be used when out and about. I enjoy the outdoors and open areas such as Herrington country park, going to the beach etc: I am seeking a PA to support me in accessing social opportunities twice a week for the duration of 3 hours each time.
