Kind and gentle PA needed for SY3 area.
I am looking for a kind and gentle PA to help me get out and about to access activities/the outdoors. I am a wheelchair user with a neurological condition and I also have PTSD. I get frightened very easily and need someone gentle and caring who will understand and make me feel safe. I have dissociative episodes and will need support during non-epileptic seizures. I sometimes collapse sideways and will need help to hold my head up, if that happens.
I am twenty-eight and married. My husband manages my care, but I need more help to get out during the week to activities. My husband must work from home because I can't be left alone. Ideally, if I become comfortable with a PA, it would enable him to occasionally go into the office, which would require more hours of support.
I love the outdoors and would love help to access my garden. Help to plant flowers and care for them would be amazing as well. I would love support to get out on walks, including up Lyth Hill or at national trust properties.
Primarily, I need help to get out to the Shrewsbury Museum once a week where I am supported to volunteer. I also need help to get therapy once a week.
I would also love support to bake. I can't access my kitchen but would manage better with support.
I enjoy reading, especially science fiction and fantasy, and love writing. I am currently working on the manuscript for a science fiction novel.
