Processing is a big problem for me too( GP is aware and we are working through this) also supported by the aligned mental health team at the GP surgery. This is causing me lots of problems in my head and affecting my mental well being so you will need to be understanding.
**Hours /Wage**

Other hours to cover sickness, or unforeseen circumstances.
Various days pre arranged in advance of booked holidays.
I have a well established PA who would be willing to show you the ropes.

Sometimes to assist with personal care when I am unable to move at times.
Shower help if required. I have a wet room.
Help with hair, blow dry and upper body dressing. Socks and shoes at times.
Make the bed/change the bed as required (weekly).
Put washing on the airer and fold up if necessary.
Carry things for me, to my mobility car or garden, to one room or another.
Help with putting my mobility scooter up or down if needed,come shopping with me as my reach is not always good in the shops/ or when I meet friends ( You can have the time to yourself,for a wander around the shops :)
Tidy sofas, pick up dropped things.
Things I can not do or reach. I have limited upper body reach.
Medication and appointment reminders.
Some help with opening things or chopping vegetables etc so I can cook independently.
**Additional Requirements/Information**
I prefer someone who has worked in a care setting, empathetic and an understanding of depressive disorders is a must
Someone with a good sense of humour.
Also I don’t like people rushing around due to balance and cognitive issues.
Some memory problems (not dementia).
I want to remain independent, so support is required not anyone taking responsibility for my life.
I have recently had a life changing experience so can get tearful at times.
I have poor concentration at times, so patience is a must.
I have a motability car, so unless you live in the West Pelton area a car driver would be useful.
I have a great cleaner so no cleaning is required as such just a tidy up if needed.
Possibly popping to local shops with me as I can’t take my scooter in and out of the boot.
Other help as required. Light duties
DBS check is required (cost will be covered by the employer).Also references.
**Very important**
I have 2 small dogs, so a dog friendly person is essential.
I need someone who is not going to expect me to put the dogs in another room.
They get excited for a few minutes then settle.
I get extremely anxious when people are intolerant of my dogs.
