JOB DESCRIPTION
Part-time Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I’m a woman in my late 50s living in Cowbridge. I experience depression and anxiety so require some gentle encouragement and support to be more active outside of the home. I also have Osteoporosis.
Although I’m not what you’d call ‘people person’, I make up for it by being sensitive, funny, empathetic, caring, kind, gentle and organised. I have a dry sense of humour and am very much an introvert. I enjoy singing, music and quizzing.
I’m not keen on busy and loud places or big groups of people. So if I do go out, quiet and mentally stimulating activities would be best. For example, I enjoy playing Bowls in the summer and participating in local quizzes.
PURPOSE OF JOB
To encourage me to spend time outside the home, participate in the community and hopefully form new friendships and interests.
HOURS OF WORK
2.5 hours per week.
On occasion my husband works away so there will be extra hours available.
RATES OF PAY
£15.00 per hour
40p mileage
TASKS INVOLVED
Social and community based outings
Encouraging and motivating me to be involved in activities outside the home
Shopping during quieter times of the day
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
Someone who has a gentle nature and soft approach to interaction
You must be friendly, supportive and willing to build a friendship with me
A confident person who will be proactive in suggesting activities
You must respect the confidentiality of working in the home
A car driver/owner to use your car for work purposes
ABOUT THE JOB
This position is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check), which must be completed prior to the commencement of employment. The cost of this check will be covered by the Local Authority.
All necessary checks will be conducted to verify that any candidate has the legal right to work in the UK before employment begins.
Although this is a part-time role, it is a legitimate position requiring the submission of a National Insurance number. Employment will commence under an initial trial period.
Wages will be paid on a monthly basis and appropriate holiday pay will be provided.
Please note: Dewis Centre for Independent Living is acting on behalf of a third party and will not serve as your employer or be liable for any issues arising from your employment should you be offered the position.
