Female Personal Assistant for spinal injured male £11.74ph week days - WAKEFIELD - WF2

Personal Statement

I am an active person who enjoys life to the full, striving for independence in all that I do, regardless of a C5/6 spinal cord injury resulting in complete paralysis below the shoulders and partial paralysis of my arms, no hand or finger dexterity. Consequently, I am wheelchair bound and require assistance with all aspects of personal care as well as domestic chores. At present, I have three lovely Personal Assistants providing one-to-one support, and I am now looking for someone new to join my small friendly team to provide daytime support.

Role Overview

This role would suit someone energetic and outgoing to help support me with day-time activities such as daily keep fit, cycling, art projects, gardening, woodwork, craft projects as well as domestic tasks. However, you will be expected to learn the full role of personal assistant, meeting complex care needs and providing cover at times.

Person Specification

I need someone reliable, honest, hardworking with good work ethics, committed to providing the best care possible and have a genuine interest in doing so to help me maximise my independence. Some experience of providing care is preferred, but not essential. Regardless of experience, you must be willing to learn how to do the job under my direction and follow advice from experienced PAs. As you progress, you will be expected to work using your own initiative. Good general health is important to be able to handle the physical tasks of safe manual handling, pushing, bending, and lifting as detailed in the job description.

A high standard of hygiene and good practice is expected from all Personal Assistants along with a degree of flexibility to allow for spontaneity. Due to the close nature of the work and intimate tasks, it is imperative the Personal Assistant understands the responsibilities the position holds, while observing dignity, privacy, and confidentiality. A good sense of humour is important and the ability to recognise personal frustrations of impairment are not necessarily directed at others.

Training

During an induction shadow shift, you will be guided through tasks listed in the job description which can be learned through me and the personal assistant working together. The position is subject to a successful 3-month probationary period, by the end of which you should be competent meeting the requirements of your job role. A DBS check will also be required along with at least one reference.

Times Required

Week days 10.30am - 14.30. Times may vary slightly to accommodate my needs and will be negotiated with the personal assistant at the earliest possible time. You will be expected to cover holiday leave and absence.

Personal Assistant Duties

This position involves some of the following tasks listed, a full job description is available upon request. As my needs vary, it is important you are flexible about what the work involves and willing to undertake any other reasonable request.

I look forward to hearing from you.
