Summary
Female applicants only please - Due to the personal care elements of this role an Occupational Requirement applies. This is permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
We are looking for a personal assistant to help a vulnerable female who requires support with some daily living tasks and improving her social skills out in the community.
Our client needs some help in the morning preparing for the day – support to bathe and help her choose her clothes. She would also like someone to support her with food planning – choosing her meals and occasional support to prepare them.
Important to her, is the support to go out in the community, which she would not be able to do on her own. Attending appointments, shopping and going for a coffee are some the activities you would be involved in supporting her with. She can sometimes be a little unsteady on her feet, so, being aware of the need to keep her safe while out and about, is important.
Applicants must have a caring and patient attitude and be reliable with a positive approach to work.
We are looking for a start date of 18/8/25 or as close to this date as possible.
We would ask that you write a small paragraph about yourself which will allow the family to gain a better idea of why you would like to have this post.

· Light personal care
· Support with food preparation
· Socialising in the community
