Job description

Job Overview

I am looking for 2 PAs to provide me with overnight support. I need this support every night to ensure my safety and to provide my husband with some much needed respite. Though a part‑time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four weekly and appropriate holiday pay given.

Requirements

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).

I used to be an avid reader but this can be more challenging now so I tend to only read the newspaper and watch television for entertainment. I like to engage in conversation and have a good sense of humour. A mature person.

Personal Qualities

• A person willing to engage in conversation with me and get to know me better.
• Someone who is happy working in a home with a very friendly dog.
• A punctual and reliable person.
• A kind and friendly person.
• Someone who understands and respects the confidentiality of working in someone else's house.
