Job Description

Our family is looking for a live-in male personal assistant to join our unit, with the ability to work weekends as a long-term arrangement and potentially to cover our current PA's holidays

We live in a beautiful property in the New Forset and have two puddles and three cats, so the ideal candidate would need to be comfortable with animals, but we will not need the candidate to attend to our animals, as my wife and I enjoy doing this ourselves. We maintain a very clean and tidy residence and prioritise our tranquillity and having a peaceful home.

About the position

My wife and current PA are looking for a live-in carer to work weekends starting on a Friday evening till Sunday evening, starting and finishing at the same time, over a 48 hour period. I am a 62-year-old male and have been living with multiple sclerosis for the past fifteen years. I have a zest for life and being in the outdoors. Our property allows me to spend plenty of time with my wife and animals outdoors which gives us great pleasure. I spent many years training as a triathlete and competing as an Iron Man athlete while also running a successful business. I enjoy engaging with people and project managing smaller projects. Due to my condition, I spend my day in one of two electric wheelchairs that allow me to gain mobility around the house and garden and a second one for outdoor activities.

The position will involve personal care in the mornings, transferring me to my wheelchair, catheter care, light housekeeping from time to time and generally being my legs when needed. I am quite self-sufficient once I'm in my chair, bit will need someone on standby to assist me with some tasks and activities.

I am a confident and determined individual, who has and endeavours to continue living my life with the least amount of limitations where possible, allowing me to do what I love doing while being able to support my wife. Therefore the ideal candidate we are looking for would also need to have a drive and zest for the outdoors. You must be:

• Easy to get along with and able to hold a conversation

• Be available to work on weekends
• Have a valid full UK driving Licence and their own vehicle
