Summary
Job Title: Female Personal Assistant
Hours: 7.5 hours per week
Rates of Pay: £12.70 per hour
Location: Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne.
I am looking for a Personal Assistant to assist me with most aspects of daily living. I have a physical disability and require support to live my everyday life as I want to. I live in my own home with my grown-up son and two dogs.
My condition means that each day is different in terms of pain levels and what I can do myself. Some days I can hardly get out of bed due to pain, on these days you will be required to do what needs done around the house including light domestic tasks such as hoovering, washing dishes, and tidying up. You will prompt me with my medication and gently encourage me if I am able to, to get out of bed.
You will mainly be assisting me with things such as support with washing and drying my hair, getting dressed and ready for the day ahead. You will assist me with preparing meals such as peeling potatoes and vegetables, and support with cooking.
I may require some support with transferring in and out of the bath, I do have aids that can assist with this. More information and training will be given around this if you are successful.
Part of your role will be to prompt me with taken my medication, assisting me with my TENS machine and potentially accompanying me to any hospital appointments. For this reason, I would prefer a driver with their own car, but this is not essential.
I find it difficult some days to leave the house. I can sometimes have panic attacks if in new areas or when there is a lot of people. You will need to keep calm in these situations and take me to a quieter area. I have my own strategies and coping methods for this so you will need to be aware and respect this. I would like to build up to going out more and further afield, this will take time and so it’s not something that will be part of your role straight away.
You should be reliable and flexible, as there may be times when I have an appointment which I need support to attend. I am also looking for my personal assistant to be honest, trustworthy and have a good sense of humour. It is more important that I get on with my personal assistant than having experience.
As my Personal Assistant, it is important that you respect my role as your employer . Your job will be to provide the physical assistance I need to enable me to be as fully independent as possible. As my assistant, you must be extremely reliable and be able to work flexible hours (sometimes at short notice).
