Job Description

null

A part-time female PA is required to work with me in my home in Croydon, on rotation with another PA. This is maternity cover until September 2027, with a start date as soon as possible. I have limited mobility and use a wheelchair, so I am looking for a reliable and caring person to support me with personal care, including washing, dressing and incontinence care, wound dressing, mobility and manual handling. The role also includes light cleaning, laundry, occasional meal preparation, light shopping and prescription collection. Hours are Monday to Friday, working 3 or 4 days per week alternately, from 9.00am to 7.00pm, plus alternate weekends from 9am to 7pm. Waking night/sleep-in cover is 11pm to 6am, paid at £70. Some flexibility with the rota can be discussed. Equipment in my home includes a shower chair, Molift Turner, electric standing hoist, walking frame, ceiling hoist, electric wheelchair and sliding/turning sheets. Transfers are carried out using the sit-to-stand turner or ceiling hoist as required. Care experience is preferred, although full training will be provided.
