Are you kind, reliable, motivated and able to get stuck in? I am a mid 40's lady with energy limiting health conditions that affect my ability to live my life the way I choose. I am looking to add another PA to my existing team; the right PA support gives me back choice and freedom. Could you be a good match?
I love a good purposeful project, gardening, a cuppa with friends, being outside in nature, museums, crafts, volunteering and cooking. My morning shifts are about setting me up for the day, food prep, a shower, quick kitchen tidy and hobbies. It's important to me my home is clean and organised so domestic tasks are included.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Looking after pets
- Gardening
- Dressing / undressing
Morning shifts are all about getting up and ready for the day. Tasks may include the following:
- Making breakfast and drinks
- Tidying kitchen and emptying dishwasher
- Putting a wash on and/or putting clothes away
- Food prep such as chopping veggies or boiling eggs
- Shower help and hair wash (no toileting)
- Setting up hobbies e.g. putting sewing machine ready
- Unpacking food shop
If you opt to take ad-hoc shifts as cover you will be assisting me with my daily life both at home and out. I am a wheelchair user.
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Honest and cheerful
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
It is important to me that my PAs and I are a good match and that we can work together in a comfortable and friendly way but still get the tasks done. You will have a can-do attitude and be willing to learn and get stuck in, follow routines and work on your own initiative once you have found your feet.
Due to my chemical sensitivities and asthma, you will be a non-smoker and happy to not wear strong perfumes. We often have a dog visiting so you will be comfortable with dogs. Driver with own car preferred, mileage is paid at 45p a mile.
Additional requirements:
- Non-smoker due to medical reasons
- Vulnerable to the risk of infection and disease transmission
