Personal Care Assistant for a lady in Thornaby
I'm looking for a friendly, reliable, and flexible Personal Care Assistant to support me with day-to-day tasks and help me manage life with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). I live with hEDS, a connective tissue disorder that can affect people in very different ways. Because of this, my needs can vary significantly from day to day depending on my pain levels, fatigue, and overall health. An understanding of hEDS would be a bonus, but it is not essential as I am happy to explain how the condition affects me personally.
Hours
- 8 hours per week
- Monday to Friday
- Flexible working hours to be agreed
- Some flexibility is essential, as my support needs can change depending on my health on any given day
Main Duties
- Household cleaning and general domestic tasks
- Grocery shopping and collecting essentials
- Laundry and clothes washing
- Personal care support when required
- Organising medication into a weekly medication planner
- Accompanying me to certain medical appointments
- Helping with childcare-related tasks when needed, particularly taking my son to and from nursery if I am unable to drive due to pain or mobility issues
What I'm Looking For
- Friendly, patient, and understanding
- Flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances
- Comfortable working in a home environment where no two days are the same
- Good with children, as my son will often be present during working hours
- Ideally a confident driver with a full driving licence and access to a vehicle
- Reliable and trustworthy
Important
This role would suit someone who is adaptable and happy to work flexibly. It is not ideal for someone who strongly prefers a strict routine or highly structured work pattern, as my condition means plans may need to change at short notice based on how I'm feeling day to day.
