We are looking for a caring and trustworthy female PA to support a friendly and thoughtful woman who lives with a mild learning disability and experiences anxiety. She enjoys her independence but can find it difficult to form relationships and often spends a lot of time on her own. When feeling anxious, she tends to withdraw, so having someone consistent, calm, and encouraging around her can make a real difference in helping her feel more connected and motivated.
She has a supportive relationship with her dad, who lives locally and helps when he can, but she would really benefit from regular, structured support to engage more with her community and take part in everyday life with confidence.
This role involves providing 10 hours of support per week, ideally spread across Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. The exact times and days can be discussed and agreed with her and her Community Support Service (CSS), as a predictable routine is very important for her wellbeing. Changes to plans or support can lead to increased anxiety, so reliability and good communication are key.
The PA will support her in a number of ways. This includes taking her out and about in the PA’s car for shopping, appointments, and community activities such as swimming, cycling with Wheels for All, visiting cafés, going to the gym, walking, bowling, and looking into new opportunities she might enjoy. Encouraging her to build confidence around others and helping her engage with people in public settings is also an important part of the role.
In addition to getting out into the community, the PA may be needed to provide some light support at home. This could include preparing simple meals, encouraging healthy routines, and occasionally helping her get ready for the day.
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is patient, kind, and committed to providing person-centred support.
A full driving licence and access to a car is essential for this role, as transport plays a key part in daily activities.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Companionship
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
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.
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. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
