| About the Person You Will Support: | I am a 58-year-old man who is deaf and has multiple disabilities. I am looking for a caring, reliable female Personal Assistant to support me with day-to-day living. I like to remain as independent as possible but need some help around the home and getting out and about. I enjoy going shopping when I feel up to it and am partial to a takeaway, especially a fish and chip dinner. Some days I have more energy than others, so I am looking for someone who is flexible and understands that my support needs can vary from day to day. |
| Key Responsibilities: | You will support me to get up in the morning and assist with personal care where required. You will help me maintain my home by carrying out household tasks, preparing meals, making drinks and ensuring things are kept organised. Part of the role will involve supporting me in the community, including accompanying me shopping and driving me to hospital, GP and dental appointments. On days when I am not feeling up to going out, there will still be plenty to do around the house. You will also assist me with my medication by dispensing it into a daily pill organiser and following a medication chart. In addition, I need support managing paperwork and correspondence, including reading post to me, helping with bills and administration, arranging services and contacting tradespeople when needed. Most importantly, I am looking for someone who can provide practical support and companionship to help me live independently. |
| Requirements: | I am looking for a female Personal Assistant who is kind, patient, reliable and trustworthy. You should be comfortable providing personal care, have good organisational skills and be confident helping with paperwork and everyday administration. You will need to be flexible and understanding, as my needs can change from day to day. A good sense of humour, a positive attitude and a willingness to support me both at home and in the community are important. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential, as you will be required to drive me to appointments, shopping trips and other activities. Previous experience in care or support work would be beneficial but is not essential for the right person. Additional Information As some personal care is involved, I would feel more comfortable with a female Personal Assistant. This requirement is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement and is in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010. An enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references will be required. Please send your CV together with a short covering letter explaining your suitability for the role. Sponsorship is not available for this role. No agencies please. |
