I reside in Whitchurch, with my two daughters, age 20 and 17 years old, in a bungalow that’s fully adapted for my wheelchair.

 

My PA is due to leave on the 12^th September, so I am looking for somebody who could step in from the 13^th September for a month, covering up to 29 hours per week initially. The position has the potential in becoming a permanent position, after the first month is complete.

 

HOURS OF WORK

 

Covering up to 29 hours per week- with the potential of becoming permanent hours.

TASKS INVOLVED

 

·        Assist with showering and personal care.

·        Help with transfers between my hospital bed and wheelchair, or in and out of the car.

·        Car driver/ owner is essential, to attend hospital appointments, GP and dental appointments.

·        We would need to check that my wheelchair could be accommodated in your boot, if you can dismantle and lift in into your car.

·        I would also need to check that I could transfer in/ out of the passenger seat of your car, as I find it very physically challenging and painful to do so.

·        Sometimes you might need to collect medication scripts from the GP and drop to the chemist for collection.

·        Assist with shopping and trips out.

·        You need to be able to cook, ideally able to carry out household duties.

·        Help with paperwork, filing and co coordinating my appointments, so that I don’t miss any as I have short term memory recall.

 

 

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

 

·        Reliable and trustworthy female requested, who is patient, caring, supportive and compassionate.

·        Able to use your own initiative when needed, whilst enabling me to access life.
