Crynodeb

A bright, intelligent, 25 year old female is looking for a kind, committed female Personal Assistant with good conversation skills to join her supportive team. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping her live independently and supporting her overall wellbeing.

About Her
She is working towards developing her independence and employment. She enjoys creative activities such as painting and baking and daily walks with her 7 month old cockapoo, which help her feel calm and regulated. Her diagnoses include Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), ADHD, epilepsy and suspected autism.

Understanding Her Needs
• EUPD affects her emotional regulation, which can lead to low moods and episodes of self-harm.
• Ability to follow risk management plans offering positive behaviour support if her mental health deteriorates
• Autism can make adapting to change, decision-making and social situations challenging.
• She benefits from emotional regulation support, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) techniques and daily walks.
• Her seizures are infrequent, but she will require support during recovery if she occasionally has one.

Role Responsibilities
• Prompting and motivating with daily routines, housework, meal preparation, medication and maintaining a safe home.
• Supporting with dog care and daily dog walks.
• Supporting her to engage in social activities and build friendships.
• Assisting with admin tasks such as medical appointments, letters and household management.
• Providing transport for necessary activities - a clean driving licence is essential.
• Offering emotional reassurance and communication support.
• Supporting her to make her own decisions
• Being physically active and alert, especially during moments of distress.

What She’s Looking For
You’ll be introduced by her current team to ensure a thorough and supportive induction.
She values PAs who are:
• Kind, calm and empathetic
• Positive and motivating
• Good conversational skills and a sense of humour.
• Patient, reliable and physically active
• Open-minded and eager to learn
• Dog lovers and keen to interact with her dog.

Requirements
• Female applicants only (Equality Act 2010 exception)
• Two references
• Enhanced DBS check (cost covered by Local Authority)
• Willingness to learn and engage with complex mental health needs

If you bring warmth, patience and a genuine desire to support others, she would love to hear from you.
