Middle aged woman in the Polwarth area with a positive attitude. Looking for some practical, physical and emotional support due to chronic conditions (EDS, Bipolar, ADHD …) in order to live more fully. Many things I want to do for myself, I’m looking for someone to be a ‘mirror’ of accountability.
- It could involve home support; sorting and organising, encouraging tackling life admin, setting up home tech, changing the bed, making nourishing food.
- It could involve physical support; like lifting and moving, simple yoga, stretching, gentle exercise, crafting, walking my wee dog.
- It could involve emotional support; being open to talk, share and explore feelings relating to my chronic physical and mental conditions and about coping with my role as carer to my Mum with Alzheimer’s.
- The role would preferably be a Monday in order to plan the week, either 2hrs per week or 4hrs per fortnight between 10-5, or perhaps a Friday to review the week. This can be flexible over time to meet both our needs and commitments.
Essentially, I am looking for someone kind, open, honest, proactive and organised to find a balance to get the ‘To Do’ list to Done! You would be supporting me to establish new and lasting habits to live a more fulfilling life.
You must be a member of the PVG scheme or willing to join. Employer will cover this cost.
Rate of pay £13.65 per hour.
