Purple Match

A female Personal Assistant / Support Worker is required to provide day-to-day support to a 46-year-old woman living with Fibromyalgia, ADHD, and depression. The successful applicant will be someone who is patient, compassionate, and non-judgemental, and who understands the importance of building trust and consistency in a long-term working relationship.
