I am looking for a kind, reliable, and patient personal assistant to support me with day-to-day tasks and help me maintain my independence. I am a young adult living with long-term health conditions and neurodivergence (including ADHD). I value a calm, organised, and supportive environment.

I enjoy arts and crafts, health and nutrition, nature, wellbeing, and spending time with my dog. I am working towards building confidence, staying organised, and gradually increasing my independence, so I am looking for someone who is understanding, encouraging, and happy to work alongside me.

This post can be considered a job share between two PAs.
