Personal Assistant - Plymouth PL6

Introduction: I am looking for 2‑4 new employees to join my care team and fill available shifts. The number of hires depends on how many shifts applicants want to work and whether they prefer part‑time or full‑time.

Duties

• Assist me with daily activities so that I can access what I need and move around the house. I will be communicating, instructing, and telling you everything I need during the shift.
• Provide care as per the routine:
  • Night shift – help get ready for bed, personal care using a hoist, relieve leg cramps, help get out of bed in the morning.
  • Afternoon shift – help use the toilet with a hoist, adjust seating position in the wheelchair, perform light housework, and assist with food preparation.
  • Morning shift – assist with physiotherapy exercises, help with housework, and occasionally prepare food.
• No experience required; all training will be provided during working hours. Paid at the usual rate.

Does the job role include personal care?

No
