Summary
JOB DESCRIPTION MVOG1103
Personal Assistant(s) Required – Penarth
A Little About Me
I am a lady in my late 70s living in the Penarth area with my pet dog. I have chronic sciatica and diverticulitis, and I use a walking stick, crutch, Zimmer frame, or trolley to support my mobility around the house.
I currently receive daily support from a care agency but am looking to transition this support to Personal Assistant(s). I attend a weekly art class, which is very important to me. Otherwise, I spend much of my time at home and enjoy watching television.
Purpose of the Role
I am seeking kind, reliable, and patient Personal Assistant(s) to support me in my home and, when possible, out in the community.
Hours of Work
7 hours per week
Support required daily, Monday to Sunday
I am happy to consider more than one PA to cover these hours
You will be required to provide cover for other PAs during holidays or sickness
Rate of Pay
£14.35 per hour
Duties and Responsibilities
Personal care and hygiene support
Applying prescribed creams
Cleaning the commode
Meal and drink support
Social stimulation and companionship (at home and possibly in the community)
Emotional support when I am struggling
Assistance with putting shopping deliveries away
Light domestic duties (laundry management, cleaning, putting bins out)
Any other practical tasks as time allows
Ensuring my safety at all times
Person Specification
The successful applicant will be:
Experienced in, or knowledgeable about, my medical conditions
Sensitive, patient, and understanding
Clear, well-spoken, and a good listener
Gentle, calm, and sympathetic
Comfortable working in a home with a dog
Female applicants only, due to the personal care requirements of the role
About the job
Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four weekly and appropriate holiday pay given.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).
The relevant checks will be carried out to ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK
