JOB DESCRIPTION
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 39-year-old man living in the Barry area with my Mum. I can be difficult to understand as I have a diagnosis of Fragile X. It can also cause mood swings and difficulties interacting with others. I also have autism and epilepsy. My epilepsy is light sensitive, so I can never be near flashing lights. I enjoy swimming, bowling, badminton and pool. I also used to be on skittles team with my brother. I enjoy going out for meals, to the shops and down to Barry Island. I am easy going and friendly. I attend Vale Plus Day Service on a Tuesday and Thursday. I can become anxious on the bus, so this is not a suitable mode of transport and I do not have any road awareness and unable to access the community alone.
PURPOSE OF THE JOB
I am looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with my independence and to keep me safe in the community.
PLACE OF WORK
The main purpose of the job is to accompany me to places I enjoy, whilst ensuring my safety at all times.
HOURS OF WORK
4 hours per week
Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm
RATE OF PAY
£13.50 per hour, plus mileage for journeys we take in the car together
TASKS INVOLVED
Supporting me to go out and do things socially
Accompanying me out in the community
Ensuring my safety is priority at all times
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
Friendly, chatty, reliable and trustworthy
A driver with own car and business class insurance
Experience of epilepsy, I am prescribed Buccal Midazolam
ABOUT THE JOB
This post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS check.
