Dereham, United Kingdom UKCIL Full time

**I am a friendly lady with many chronic illness, the main one being Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) I am seeking a female Personal Assistant to assist me with everyday living tasks such as personal care, domestic care, occasional meal prep and gardening. I will need the applicant to inform themselves on my conditions.

Due to the severity of my Myalgic Encephalomyelitis I am mostly bed bound, although I am able to get out of bed occasionally and into my wheelchair. I currently require the use of a hoist to get out of bed, this is something my fiancé usually helps me with but there may be occasions where I require the support of a PA to do so.

My mobility can vary from day to day and there are times when, due to fatigue, I am not able to be very chatty. On these days I will need to be left to rest, as such I require someone who can work to their own initiative and get on with housework as required.

The role includes domestic duties - this will be mainly house work, working from lists. I would like to create a routine we can both work from.
Id like to be able to ask you to do the things i no longer can do myself.
On my better days i enjoy a good chat and crafting, as such it would be nice to have someone who and would enjoy crafting with me but also understand that i may not be able to chat at the same time and need to rest after a short while and then you complete the list.
I need it to be an environment that when im unwell, i am okay with asking you for space, that i can trust that you will complete the lists/use your initiative and if i need any personal care, it will be done in a private, delicate manner. There may be times i need you to turn me in my bed.
I also love to have my nails done and would like someone who is able to paint mine on occasion. I also like cats and have two of my own at home. Prefered hours are beginning and end of the week however I can flexible with times and last minute changes.
