A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am an 81-year-old lady living in the Barry area. I am a friendly woman who likes to have a laugh and really enjoy getting out and about as much as possible. I enjoy going to Cardiff, as this is where I am from, to go shopping. I can be quite a picky person though.

My diagnosis does cause me to experience delusions and some memory loss, but I am fully mobile.

PURPOSE OF JOB

I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community safely, take me shopping and to provide me with some company.

HOURS OF WORK

I have 6 hours per week available which will be used in two, three-hour shifts.

Ideally this would be Wednesday and Thursday afternoon but some flexibility here. Although it will not be Tuesday or Friday due to other commitments.

RATES OF PAY

£15.20 per hour

TASKS INVOLVED

Taking me out to Cardiff.
Going shopping with me.
Providing me with company, having a chat and making tea/coffee.
Potential to support me to pick up medication etc.
Support with some domestic tasks.
Helping me to manage some life admin.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

A non-smoker is preferred.
A bubbly person who likes to have a laugh.
Someone who will engage with me.
A car driver is preferred as public transport takes too long to get into Cardiff.
A friendly and kind person.
A reliable and punctual person.
Someone who understands the privacy of working in someone else’s home.

ABOUT THE JOB

The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).
