Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I’m an active woman in my 30s living in St Mellons with my 10-year-old daughter.

I like to be as independent as possible but sometimes need PA support when I have epilepsy.

The scale of my epilepsy can vary.

Sometimes are able to deal with things quickly and other times I need a couple of days of rest.

When I need to rest then I will need a PA to support me with ensuring my daughter gets to and from school as well as practical tasks around the home, such as ironing, for safety reasons.

The house is never quiet as there is always music on.

My daughter likes to go swimming on a regular basis but will need support to get there.

PURPOSE OF JOB

To keep my family and I safe when I need support.

PLACE OF WORK

The job will initially start in my home but travel away from normal place of work will be required due to the nature of the job.

This is likely to be in the local area.

HOURS OF WORK

I have average of 30 hours a week which I can use flexibly, in the four-week period.

During school time the core hours of support will start at 7:30 AM in the morning to get my daughter ready for school ensuring she gets there safely with the shift finishing at 8:45 AM. The other end of the school day support needs to start at 3 PM to ensure she gets home safely.

The remainder of the hours will vary depending on wind doing and your availability.

Tasks will vary accordingly depending on my state of health.

• Assisting my daughter to get to from school.
• Ironing.
• Assisting me to get to from appointments.

• Cooking (especially when I’m unwell)
• Assisting us to get to from leisure activities such as swimming.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
