JOB DESCRIPTION Part-Time Personal AssistantA LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am an 86-year-old woman living in the Pontypridd area with my very small and friendly dog. I am registered blind, but I do have partial vision in one eye and can make thing out roughly and can get around my flat. I also suffered a stroke in 2019 which I recovered from but do have slight memory issues from this.

I can mobilise for short distances using my aids but would use a chair when going out.

I receive support from my daughter and other carers already but am looking to access the community more.

I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community safely and to provide me with some social care. The PA will also occasionally help with light domestic tasks and potential for personal care, although my other carers do this currently.
