Drivers licence required: Yes

Hourly pay rate:
Daytime £14.25 raising to £15.00 after completion of successful probation period
I am a 22-year-old young lady who is looking for a new PA to expand my fabulous team.
Do you like to keep busy? I do! I enjoy swimming and trampolining. I love a relaxing massage or a sound bath. I enjoy music and drama and like trying to beat you in a game of bowling. I absolutely love theatre trips, chilling with my iPad and eating out – especially noodles and ice-cream (just not together!!!)
Put quite simply, I am a young lady, who just likes to get out there and have fun! I have a small team of PAs, who support me on a daily basis and am now hunting for an additional PA to come and join in the fun. If you have a tendency to like getting up to mischief, I would see that as an added bonus!
I will need you to feel comfortable driving my wheelchair accessible vehicle, but don’t worry, it’s not one of those great big ones! I also have quite a lot of medical “stuff” that I will also need your help with – some quite unusual - but don’t let that scare you – my Mum will help you get fully trained up in all of my needs.
So, if you’ve read this far and you are a happy, dynamic person who is looking for a job where you will go home at the end of the day feeling fulfilled and like you have really made a difference to someone then I would love to meet you!
Oh, and Mum says: You would also need to have flexibility to work additional shifts in the week and at weekends when needed to cover other PA sickness and holidays. Some sleeping nights to cover holiday and sickness will also be required. Most shifts are worked on a 2:1 basis.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Personal grooming
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Moving and handling
- Other relevant duties as required
-Transportation
- Companionship
- Dressing / undressing
- Bathroom assistance
- Accompanying to activities in the community. This would involve driving the employer’s wheelchair accessible vehicle and pushing the wheelchair.
- Accompanying to doctor and hospital appointments
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Full of enthusiasm with a good sense of humour
Additional requirements
- Non-smoker due to medical reasons
