JOB DESCRIPTION

Part-Time Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a mature lady living with a brain injury in the Barry area. I am a full-time wheelchair user. I can communicate, albeit in a limited way, and you will need to be very patient with me as I can be wary of people.

I need assistance with personal care, particularly with going to the toilet and washing afterwards.

You would need to supervise and guide me when I go out and about, anticipating any potential dangers e.g. at busy roads.

I want to go out and about in the Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan area which I would need you to accompany me, using your own car to transport me to and from.

RATE OF PAY

£13.45 per hour 8am – 12am

HOURS OF WORK

I require 24 hours of care every Sunday. There is the potential for this to increase with extra hours or providing cover for other carers.

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

• To accompany and support me to attend social events at various venues
• Transferring in/out of bed, from wheelchair to sofa
• Administering medication
• All aspects of personal care
• Preparing all meals and supervision whilst eating
• Dealing with laundry and other household chores
• Provide companionship and emotional support
• Assisting with my mental stimulation through activities I enjoy
• Maintaining records for other members of my care team to include diary, meal/medication/bowel tracking books.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
