Do you have a spare 15 hours a week to support a 62 year lady to gain confidence to access her local area?
My mother is looking for a personal assistant to encourage and support her to enjoy activities that she used to enjoy before her last hospital admission.
My mother has a really loving and supportive family and adores spending time with her grandchildren. She also enjoys visiting coffee chops, going for walks and taking pride in her garden.
Episodes of poor mental health have been part of her life for a number of years and so having a Personal Assistant who is positive, supportive and encouraging will be vital to help her start to regain some confidence and independence.
The PA must also have a driving license as my mum attends ECT on Tuesday mornings in Eastbourne, which start at 8:45am and sessions may run for an hour or two. ECT sessions may also run on Friday mornings, so availability on Friday may be needed, but this is to be discussed. They must accompany her to and from ECT sessions and stay in the building whilst the session is happening.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Other relevant duties as required
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Gardening
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
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Happy to work in a smoking environment
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives.
