**A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF**

I am a friendly lady living in the area of Dyffryn. I have M.E and so am therefore looking to employ a Personal Assistant to assist me at home with day to day tasks enabling me to remain independence. My condition fluctuates a lot - sometimes I am bedridden, at other times I can move around slowly but spend a lot of time resting. I am housebound the majority of the time. Sometimes I barely have the energy to talk or it is painful to speak due to severe sore throats, and I also suffer from hemiplegic migraines.

I am looking for someone who understands and appreciates this and can be patient with my fluctuating needs.

**PURPOSE OF THE JOB**

I am looking for someone to help and prepare healthy meals and organise meal plans with me. Assisting me with household chores and cleaning and to keep my household running smoothly and help me maintain my independence.

**HOURS OF WORK**

**RATES OF PAY**

**£12.00 per hour weekday**

**£13.70 per hour weekend**

**TASKS CAN INCLUDE**
- Preparing and cooking fresh meals
- Meal planning
- General cleaning after use of kitchen
- Domestic tasks as required - ironing, laundry, cleaning, cooking
- Shopping with or without me if necessary
- Accompanying me out socially when required

**TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED**
- A person who respects the privacy and confidentiality of working in someone-else’s home
- Someone who enjoy supporting me with cooking
- Someone who has good understanding of food hygiene
- Someone who is able to meal plan and prepare meals with fresh ingredients
- Someone who can empathise and understands my condition
- Someone who is patient and quietly spoken
- A non-smoker and someone who doesn’t mind not wearing perfume as I am chemically sensitive
