Purple Match

Female Personal Assistant (PA)/Support Worker
Job ref.
PUR-877-955
About me
I live in the community in my own home, with no access to the outside due to my
health conditions. My main diagnosis is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
(diagnosed in 2008) which means I suffer from excruciating pain daily. This
means I am largely bedbound and I am unable to carry out daily tasks such as
cooking, cleaning, shopping, organising my home etc. With the right support in
place, I wish to improve my health as much as possible, to the point of being
able to spend time outside my home as I love the outdoors. Whilst I am
bedbound I spend my time, watching true crime documentaries, YouTube videos
and have interest in the Health and Beauty industry as this is what I did before
my diagnosis.
