About this opportunity
We are looking for a female Personal Assistant for a professional female who suffered a spinal cord injury in 2020 and who is continuing to adjust to life with tetraplegia.
Prior to the accident she was a rock-climbing athlete and spent much of her time actively outdoors in the European mountains (skiing, climbing, cycling, and walking) and is now understandably coming to terms with this life changing outcome. She continues to work in her profession and is striving to regain an active life with various outdoor pursuits.
The successful Personal Assistant will be conscientious and reliable, presentable and have good personal hygiene. You should be proficient in English. You will have authentic empathy and be able to anticipate and tactfully support your client on days where she is finding it more difficult to cope. You will be able to forward plan and have good problem solving skills.
You should recognise the value of your input and the positive impact it will have.
You will be prepared to travel abroad on occasions and sleep over when required.
You will need to be able to cycle and swim. Living locally and having a degree of flexibility will be advantageous.
