Carer/Support Worker/PA Crosby

About the role

I am a 49 year old adult male who support from someone who will kindly encourage me to engage with my hobbies and interests. I also need encouragement and some support with basic self-care.

Additionally, I need support with phone calls and attending appointments.

I also need some assistance with medications when my partner is not present.

I would like support for up to 16 hours per week and would appreciate someone who could, occasionally, work flexibly through mutual agreement (if you are able), for example when an appointment falls outside the usual hours.

I have enjoyed working closely with my previous support workers, and I am also able to be flexible with times on occasion and through mutual agreement.

a routine.
There may be times when day to day duties will differ depending

environment in order to support my mental well-being.

My main priority, at the moment, is to find someone who will be
able to encourage me to engage with activities to support my
mental health, such as arts and crafts and gardening. This would
also include physical support.
I need some help self-care, including prompts for washing etc.
I also need encouragement and support to engage with some
housework, particularly in spaces in the house that are used only by
myself.

I require assistance with communication, such as Doctors, the DWP
and support accessing mental health services before I reach a crisis
point.
I would also like some help with remembering what I need to do
and encouragement when I feel unable to or I am reluctant to engage
with a task.

I need support organising appointments and other events that
come up. Transportation and
