I am a Psychotherapist and Lecturer. I work from home and have 2 dogs and a small cat. I am looking for support for 6 hours a week and can be flexible with the days. I have ADHD and a rare condition called SCDS that I am having brain surgery for in December. The role would include a mix of things. I have now moved into my property in Chessington and will need help to sort the office, order the furniture via access to work and help to make it a workable space. Next is sorting my finances and supporting with processes around my paperwork. On my down days, cups of tea, a listening ear and maybe running errands I can’t. I have good days and bad days with my health. My work is based around supporting people involved in crime or serious trauma so in the unlikely chance you see or hear material that is sensitive, confidentiality is the highest priority. I have previously written adverts but the move took its toll on me. I am ready to hold interviews ASAP. Payment will be via access to work so I would appreciate some research into this before interview. I am pretty laid back and you will be working in my own home. Please read this fully. Tell me a little about yourself. I will not move the application forward to interview without it. I look forward to hearing from you
