I also enjoy alternative and new age things like Tarot Cards, Paganism and crystals. I’m looking for a PA to help me get out and about, keep me company and help me to do the things I like to do.

  • DPSS485 - Personal Assistant - Baglan - 8 Hrs Per week

    I am a 18 year old Autistic lady living in the Baglan area of Port Talbot.  I am looking for a personal assistant to support me out in the community and support me with life skills.  I love going out in the car for a drive, going to Starbucks and going down to the beach. Most of my time with the PA will be spent driving round places I enjoy, and sitting with me in the car when we are there. I can be very anxious so will need some reassurance when out in the community and need someone who can hold a conversation with me and put me at ease.  Routine is massively important to me. As my autism affects me in different ways I would prefer to have a PA with some experience of supporting young adults with Autism.

  • DPSS266 - Personal Assistant - 17 hours per week - Cimla

    I am a gentleman in my 80s living in the Cimla area. Following an accident many years ago I have an acquired brain injury which affects my memory and concentration. I am also now living with mixed dementia which often impacts on my long-term coping strategies I have relied upon to manage my acquired brain injury over the years. I struggle to retain information and must be repeatedly reminded and prompted. As a result, my routine is very important to me and I find disruption to my routine very unsettling.

    I am an active man and enjoy going out and about in the community where I am known well at the shops and cafes I frequent. I am very fit and need a PA who can keep up with me about town. I enjoy talking about my sporting achievements from my successful athletic career prior to my accident. I often talk about my beloved wife who I sadly lost and miss dearly. I enjoy getting out every morning, I like to eat breakfast out, I enjoy a flutter at the betting office, and watching sports on the television with my daily newspapers by my side is very important to me. 

    17hrs per week.

    • Thursday and Friday 8:00 – 14:00 (6hrs)
    • Saturday 09:00 – 14:00 (5hrs)

  • DPSS512 - Personal Assistant - 7 hours over 2 days - Neath

    I am a lady in my 50s living in central Neath with my pet dog and cat. I’ve worked for an insurance company for many years before I had to finish through ill health. I am a very sociable and lovely lady, and I have a good sense of humour. But I can get upset and frustrated with my situation. I have Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) which mimics stroke, MS, Epilepsy and Parkinson’s. I have frequent non-epileptic seizures, and also experience bladder and bowel issues. My condition is incurable and lifelong.  The FND also causes fatigue, which can affect my vision, hearing, speech, memory and concentration. If I overdo things I can become tired, and this can cause me to have a seizure.

    I also have Fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, which along with the FND, causes me to be in constant pain.  I have depression and anxiety, and can get emotional often, and experience very low moods. Each day is different and so I cannot determine exactly how I will be from one day to the next. My condition will be discussed in the interview, and what steps you would be required to take, should I have a seizure when I’m with you, and how to recognise the signs of me becoming tired and verging on having a seizure.

    7 hours per week to be worked over two days. Days and times to be discussed at interview but would be required to work alternate weekends.
