JOB TITLE: Personal Care Assistant

HOURS: Negotiable

RATE OF PAY: £13.48 p/h plus holidays & benefits

LOCATION: Meanwood LS6

PURPOSE OF ROLE: I am a 47year old single woman who is living with debilitating illnesses that affect my mobility and my ability to live a life without pain. I use a power wheelchair to get around. I also have a folding manual and power wheelchair that can go in a car. I have numerous long-term health conditions that cause me chronic pain, fatigue and a vast number of other symptoms. Due to this, I tire very easily and often find my pain difficult to live with. Small amounts of activity can overwhelm me very quickly. In order to manage my conditions, I have to focus on pacing myself and making the best of what little energy I have, along with balancing my medication and pain treatment. I'm looking for a PA, with a good sense of humour and a positive outlook on life, who also understands that my health fluctuates throughout the course of the day. There are days I can tolerate and enjoy conversations, there are also times when I need assistance to get specific tasks done independently of me, whilst I rest in a quiet environment. I can also be incredibly anxious especially in unfamiliar situations, so I will need reassurance and support. Ideal candidates would have a good understanding (or a willingness to learn) about chronic illnesses. Car driver with own transport is essential. Previous experience is preferred but not a requirement.

DUTIES TO INCLUDE:

• General household tasks such as laundry, mopping, hoovering, changing beds, ironing and other standard household tasks.
• Support with meal prep and shopping.
• Assistance with socialising and getting out and about.
• Plus any other reasonable requests.

SUPERVISION: My PA will be directed by and accountable to me, in all aspects of their role. She must always respect my independence, and ask rather than assume, what assistance I require. A full induction and training will be given. A member of my support team can also provide additional support or guidance, when needed.

Hours: Due to the nature of my health I will need a PA (s) who is flexible to work changing shifts depending on my health. I have a small team of PA’s who support me and whilst there is a minimum of 6hrs per week there is scope for more hours. Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and must hold a clean and valid UK driving license. Due to the nature of the role, strict confidentiality is required.
