He values his independence and has previously been involved in residents’ consultation groups. He uses an electric wheelchair to get around and is partially sighted; he can no longer leave his home without a PA present due to the sight impairment.

There will be additional hours available when the main PA is on holiday or on sick leave.

Responsibilities

• Support to attend medical appointments, which may occasionally be out of town.
• Provide support with a range of personal care needs and with dressing appropriately due to sight loss (jokes about clothes being inside out or mismatched shoes may occur).
• Support with meal preparation and maintaining a habitable home.
• Provide support as needed to enable independence and safety at home and during outings.

Requirements and preferences

• Someone with experience of care work is preferred, but personality and attitude are considered more important than experience as training can be given.
