ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:
CV: Required on application, prior to arranging the interview
CARE: You genuinely enjoy caring for your client to support their daily living, quality of life and their aspirations.
PROBLEM SOLVER: You have a logical approach to resolve issues. You ask for help when required but are motivated to use your own initiative, when problem solving.
RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE: You honour your responsibility to supporting the life of a vulnerable person, who relies upon you.
RESPECT: Mutual
DILIGENT: This includes multi tasking/juggling tasks and prioritising with consideration.
PATIENT: With a sense of humour helps
COOKING: You have a genuine interest in cooking from scratch, with fresh ingredients
COMMUNICATION: You have good spoken, written and auditory English skills, as I often have speech difficulties so it can be difficult to understand me and visa-versa
TRUSTWORTHY AND CONFIDENTIAL: You are trusted to be confidential, in the same way you would like to receive it from your client
CAR DRIVER – Very handy for social shifts, but not always essential
FLEXIBLE HOURS:
1-2 shifts p/w | 3hrs PLUS each shift | To be agreed between us | mostly afternoons/evenings or occasionally at night (Not throughout the whole night)
1-2 shifts p/month | 3-4hrs each shift | batch cooking
There will be more shifts available on occasion, depending on your availability/my needs
The flexible shifts may include regular shifts for regular things, like a weekly group etc, though can also be quite varied, as like my interests. We’ll talk in advance to see what aspects you’re able to assist with prior, though someone who’s open to a variety of activities and getting stuck into projects with me, is welcome.
This is a flexible contract covering some of the shifts at different times each week, in line with your availability. There will be some continuity here too, so some shifts may be on similar days/times each week, others will vary. These will be agreed between us.
If you have particular days/times you are available for the flexible shifts, please make these clear when applying, and we can consider the options?
POSITION:
Private care assistant in employers home (Employed directly, not through a company). I have a direct payments account with adult social services which I manage, and s/services handle wages and pay you directly themselves. I manage my own carers and am therefore the employer (For employees) or client (For self employed carers), so you are only required to have involvement with myself.
The position includes social/hobbies, personal care, cooking from scratch, home chores and anything life entails. Essentially, anything you do for yourself, you may well assist me with at some point, where possible. Some physical assistance is required depending on my abilities at that time, mental and cognitive, helping me navigate decisions etc, when I’m fatigued/exhausted, and some emotional support at times, when things become overwhelming.
Working with myself, a woman in my 40s, in my home to assist with all aspects of personal care, cooking and meal prep from scratch, cleaning, home chores, social and anything else that life throws my way! Anything you do for yourself, you’ll help me with, though my abilities vary at that time, and I like to be independent where feasible.
My interests vary quite widely and would like to ask for your help with the following types of things (List not exhaustive):
Being out in nature/time with animals
Live music/festivals/events
Show/comedy
Socialise with friends/out to dinner
Creative projects at home/garden, or obtaining supplies
Evening class
This position will require you to learn the ropes as required, be responsible for fulfilling what’s needed, and thinking on my behalf to prepare future items, ensuring my safety and well being, when I’m fatigued/exhausted.
TRAINING:
For employed people: There are mini, mandatory online training courses to complete during your initial trial period, of around 7-8hrs, in addition to your regular weekly hours. You are welcome to undertake these at home when it’s convenient for you, and will be paid for this additional time.
Initial training and shadowing will ideally be done with one of my other carers, to show you the role for 2-3 shifts. We may have to arrange these on different days/times to those advertised, when my other carer does their shift, but I will try to work with your availability too, wherever possible.
RATE:
Employed: £15 p/h | holiday pay 5.6 weeks p/annum | employers insurance covered
Self employed: Open to negotiation (All paperwork and insurances required, some assistance may be provided, ask when applying)
DBS mandatory, at employers expense for employed people
Supported by social services payroll.
HOW TO APPLY:
