We’re looking for a kind and reliable male Personal Assistant to support a lovely 73-year-old gentleman who’s been through a tough time with his health.
He’s recovering from two brain aneurysms and a stroke, which have affected the use of his right hand and leg—he now uses a brace for stability and a wheelchair to get around. Despite these challenges, he remains a proud and quiet man who communicates mostly by pointing.
For now, the position is temporary, but it may become permanent depending on the situation.
The role involves:
Helping him get up, showered, shaved, and dressed each day
Supporting with meals and administering medication
Monitoring his diabetes (checking blood sugar and giving a daily insulin injection)
Being mindful of any choking risks during meals
Assisting with mobility and using the toilet
Accompanying him to the gym on Tuesdays for a short session on the static bike
Helping him settle down for his afternoon nap
He likes to be out and about, shopping and passing the time of day
His wife is currently doing her best to manage everything, but she could really use a helping hand. If you’re compassionate, dependable, and comfortable with personal care, this could be a truly rewarding opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. A Driver is essential.
There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be male/female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4.
This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
