Please read the Job Description carefully before providing information in this Section of the Application Form. Give details of your previous employment or experience which you think would help you to do this job. (required): Before I work as a personal assistant, I do many office works like managing meetings, sending emails, keeping records and helping my boss to organise daily things. I learn to work fast and manage time good. I also talk with many people and handle different tasks same time. This job teach me to stay calm and do my work correct even when it busy. I think these experience will help me do this job well and learn quickly.

What qualities do you think are important when working as a personal assistant with a disabled person? (required): I think important qualities are to be kind, patient and understanding. When I work before with a disabled woman, I learn to listen carefully and respect her needs. You must be always on time, helpful and make sure she feel safe and comfortable. Also need to be organised and keep everything ready, because sometimes small things make big difference for her. I always try to treat her with respect and make her feel independent as possible.

How do you think you can contribute towards the needs and the independence of a disabled person? (required): I can help by giving support when it needed but also letting the person do things by themself as much they can. I think it important to listen what they want and not just decide for them. When I worked with a disabled woman before, I always ask her how she like things done and help her in way that make her feel confident. I can help to make daily life easier and safe but still give her space to be independent and make her own choices.
What is it about PA work which appeals to you? (required): I like PA work because I enjoy helping people and keeping things organised. As a mother with kids, I already learn how to manage time, stay calm, and handle many things at once. I feel happy when I can make someone’s day easier by planning, reminding, or arranging things for them. I also like that every day is different and I can learn new things. When I worked as a PA before, I liked to see that my support really made a difference, and that makes me want to do this kind of work again.
