I am a lady in my late 30’s living in Pontardawe. I have Down’s Syndrome with a learning disability. I am very friendly and happy, and I enjoy going out into the community to do activities such as bowling, going to the cinema and having my nails done. I can be shy and quiet to start but I get very fond of people when I get to know them.

I am physically able in many areas but will require support on encouragement to remain on task and complete daily activities.

I also will require support with household tasks such as completing my washing and preparing a meal.

Sundays only from 11am – 5pm (6 hours)

I like to bake cakes, crochet, watch TV and make cards. I have a learning difficulty and a visual impairment.

DPSS584 - Personal Assistant - 7.5 hours per week - Neath

I am a lady in my early 70’s living in the Neath area with my husband. I have Dementia which affects my short term memory. I’m usually sociable and love spending time with people or being out and about in the community, chatting to neighbours or just people watching.

I enjoy keeping active, going shopping and being in places where there’s lots of things going on. I like attending daycare groups and sometimes I just like to go for a spin in the car.

I’m looking for a PA who can help me maintain my independence and dignity for as long as possible and to support my husband to have a break. I’d like my PA to keep me company and take me out to do things I enjoy, to keep me safe whilst we’re out in the community and who can explore different ways of supporting me.

Preferably on either a Saturday or Sunday, but hours and days can be flexible to suit and can be agreed in advance by mutual consent.
