We have an exciting opportunity for a Personal Assistant to join a new, specialist care team in Prestwood in Great Missenden.

Our client is a mature woman with a spinal cord injury (SCI), requiring her to use a wheelchair full time. She is looking for a live-in personal assistant to help fulfil her practical care needs. She is an independent, active, motivated and positive individual who desires to engage more with the community, participate in activities, and enjoy cultural experiences, such as theatre and opera.

She has a passion for travel and has travelled extensively, with a deep love for exploring new places and experiencing diverse cultures. Swimming has always been one of her favourite activities, and for years, she swam daily. Her interests also include art, gardening, and cultural events, and she finds great joy in visiting galleries, painting, and spending time outdoors. She values opportunities to socialize, connect with friends, and attend cultural events whenever possible.

She values companionship and would appreciate someone who can assist with organising daily tasks. While she enjoys a clean and tidy home and would like help with laundry, cleaning, and dusting, her primary focus is on being able to go out and enjoy life. She knows exactly what she wants to do and where she wants to go—she just needs practical support to make it happen
