Care Assistant for a person

• Flexible availability

I am a 32-year-old married individual living with agoraphobia and separation anxiety. I enjoy sports—especially golf and football—and love spending time outdoors, particularly walking my 10-month-old Labrador, who is currently being trained to assist with managing my panic attacks. I also have a calm and friendly 12-year-old cat at home.

Due to my condition, I am unable to travel far from home and can experience heightened anxiety when alone, particularly when my wife is out. I am now looking to hire a compassionate and reliable carer/companion to provide support during these times and help reduce reliance on family members.

This is a companionship-focused role, providing emotional reassurance, a calming presence, and light practical support within the home and occasionally nearby outdoor environments (e.g., short dog walks). The role is not medically intensive but requires patience, understanding, and consistency.

• Provide companionship and reassurance during periods when I am alone
• Support with managing anxiety and panic episodes in a calm, reassuring manner
• Accompany me on short walks locally (including with my dog)
• Assist in maintaining a relaxed, structured environment
• Be a trusted, friendly presence to help build confidence and independence over time

• Must hold a valid driving licence and have access to a car, as this provides an added sense of safety and reassurance
• Kind, patient, and empathetic nature
• Reliable and trustworthy, with a calm demeanor
• Comfortable with dogs and cats
• Good communication skills and ability to build trust

• Experience with anxiety disorders or mental health support (preferred but not essential)
• Flexible availability

• Flexible, part-time hours (primarily when my wife is out of the home)
• Competitive hourly rate, depending on experience

This role would suit someone who enjoys a relaxed home environment, values building meaningful connections, and is comfortable offering emotional support. Over time, the goal is to establish a trusted relationship that helps improve my independence and overall wellbeing.

If you feel you would be a good fit for this role, I would love to hear from you.
