Job description

Position Title: Personal Assistant

Location: Didcot, Oxfordshire

Hourly Rate: £15 per hour Weekdays / £16.80 per hour Weekends

Vacancy Type: Permanent

Job Reference: SOLODFY

Would you like to join my team? I am a young lady living at home with my family in Didcot, Oxfordshire. We are looking for additional team members to help support me in my home and out in the community. I enjoy socialising and going out, so it's important that you can drive my vehicle.

I am searching for a personal assistant who can help me live my life to the fullest. I enjoy daily outings, meeting new people, and taking part in fun activities such as bowling, shopping, and walks.

I have complex health and support needs, including clinical support. I need confident and competent staff who are good communicators and can use my equipment safely. I require support with personal care, feeding, administering medicines via my Mickey Tube, and moving and handling support including transfers. I also need regular chest physiotherapy and suctioning. Despite this support, I aim to remain as independent as possible and wish to be involved in my decisions.

Shifts follow a four-week rota:

1. Week 1: Tuesday 4pm-10pm, Saturday 4pm-10pm, Sunday 7am-4pm & 4pm-10pm
2. Week 2: Saturday 1pm-10pm, Sunday 1pm-10pm
3. Week 3: Tuesday 4pm-10pm, Saturday 7am-4pm & 4pm-10pm, Sunday 7am-4pm & 4pm-10pm
4. Week 4: Saturday 1pm-10pm, Sunday 1pm-10pm

There is potential to increase hours, which can be discussed during the interview.

I require female drivers with a full UK driving license to drive my vehicle.

The ideal candidate will be committed, reliable, flexible, and possess a positive, caring attitude with excellent communication skills. Experience in care and learning disabilities is desirable but not essential; willingness to learn is valued.

Benefits include:

• 5.6 weeks holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time)
• Company pension scheme after 3 months
• Opportunity to join our Cash Back Health Plan after probation
• Free training and development, including NVQ options
• Access to wellbeing and support tools
• Star of the Month rewards

And much more.
