I am looking for a cover PA to support me to access the groups that I attend.

I am a laid back gentleman, and I take my time when processing information and replying in conversation. The PA would need to be patient and understanding of this.

I have Parkinsons, Dementia, COPD and can suffer with depression and anxiety. My conditions mean I have reduced mobility and coordination, and I am at risk of falls. I use a wheelchair as both a walking aid and to sit in when I get tired, so my PA would need to push my wheelchair when this happens. The PA would either be able to use their own car, or drive my mobility car which is an automatic. The PA will need to prompt me with time sensitive medication.

I am a 47 year old gentleman living in the Upper Neath Valley area. I enjoy watching football on TV and I used to watch Swansea City home games when I was able to get out of my house without support. I would in time like to do this again, but this is not my number one priority now. What I really need, is someone to help me to access the community and use buses where needed. I am unable to use a car at the moment due to requiring wrist surgery, therefore it would be unsafe for me to attempt to get out of my wheelchair and into a car until this has healed. Due to my condition, I am unable to self-propel and I would need my PA to push me in my wheelchair.  

10 hours per week, to be completed over 2 weekdays. 

These weekdays can be flexible, and can be discussed during interview.
