JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant (PA)

About Me

I am a 22-year-old young man from Llanharry. I have Cerebral Palsy, which affects my mobility, so I use an electric wheelchair. I have good communication skills and a wicked sense of humour. In my spare time, I enjoy playing chess and watching Doctor Who.

As I am unable to transfer independently, I require the use of a fully functioning ceiling track hoist which runs through my bedroom and into the bathroom. I am quite a patient person, and I am happy to explain things that are unique to my home or equipment, but I am seeking someone who can think for themselves and use their own initiative.

I will also need assistance with some personal care, including toileting.

I am looking for a friendly and reliable Personal Assistant (or assistants) to support me in my home and help me maintain my independence.

Hours of Work

17.5 hours per week
2.5 hours per day across 7 days
Morning, lunchtime and bedtime support calls
Applications from one or more Personal Assistants are welcome to cover the required hours.

Rate of Pay

£15.35 per hour

Main Duties

You will be required to:

Provide safe support with manual handling using a hoist and sling.
Assist with transfers to and from my specialist shower chair and electric wheelchair.
Support with the application of a convene system.
Assist with dressing and personal care.
Provide support with toileting.
Prepare meals and drinks.
Help keep my bedroom clean and tidy.
Ensure my safety and wellbeing at all times.

Person Specification

The ideal Personal Assistant will be:

Friendly, positive and approachable
Someone with a good sense of humour
Reliable, trustworthy and committed
Responsible, with a mature attitude and good common sense
Someone who can think for themselves and use their own initiative
Experienced or trained in using a convene system preferred
