OB DESCRIPTION MVOG1096
Weekend Personal Assistant(s) Required – Penarth
A Little About Me
I am an elderly lady living in the Penarth area with a diagnosis of mixed dementia. I already employ a Personal Assistant; however, due to a recent deterioration, I have been awarded additional support hours.
I enjoy gentle walks into Penarth for a coffee and cake or to pick up the newspaper. I do not use any walking aids but appreciate having someone’s arm for reassurance. I also enjoy watching old films and listening to classical music.
Purpose of the Role
I am seeking kind, reliable Personal Assistants to support me both in my home and out in the community, helping me to remain safe, comfortable, and engaged.
Hours of Work – weekend
11-7 on a Saturday
2-6 or 3-7 on a Sunday
You will also be required to provide cover for other PAs during holidays or sickness.
Rate of Pay
£16.10 per hour
Duties and Responsibilities
Personal care
Meal preparation
Prompting with fluids and medication
Social stimulation and companionship (at home and in the community)
Support with shopping
Walking into Penarth for coffee, cake, or newspapers
Light domestic duties (laundry and cleaning)
Support with undressing and dressing into nightwear
Assisting me to bed and helping me settle in the evening to reduce fall risks
Ensuring my safety at all times
Person Specification
The successful applicant will be:
Experienced in, or knowledgeable about, dementia and how it affects individuals
Sensitive, patient, and understanding
Nicely spoken and a good listener
Gentle, calm, and reassuring
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
