PA or PA's

A young woman beginning her university life in September is looking for a PA or PA's to assist her transition to independent student life. She will be living in the University Halls of residence in the HU5 area. There are 20hrs per week available and she is looking for 1 or 2 PA's to cover the hours. She is a manual wheelchair user and is unable to stand or walk but can transfer herself and get around her adapted room on her knees or in her wheelchair. Her hands are slightly impaired which affects her fine motor skills, so she struggles with small buttons, zips etc and they can be painful or tire easily. She is looking for someone who can offer her discreet, reliable support without making it obvious, someone who looks like a friend rather than her support worker. Duties will include (but are not restricted to) assisting her when she is cooking the main meal in the evenings, help collecting and storing online food shopping and assistance with laundry and changing the bedding. She will need some support helping do her hair occasionally, helping fasten buttons/zips on some things. The times help is needed may vary and will be negotiated with any interested candidates at interview but will include some early evenings, weekends (although this will likely only be a hour or two), with some help some mornings before classes. Important Information:

• Owing to the nature of this position, any offer of employment will be subject to a satisfactory checking report from the Disclosure and Barring Service, the cost of which will be met by the local authority/employer.
