Personal Care Assistant

Reading, United Kingdom Charles Williams Full time

**People needed to provide personal and social support to a disabled man who is pursuing a full and active life as a University academic.**
- **Absolutely perfect for students wanting part-time or full-time work - get paid and do in your studies at the same time**_

The work includes weekdays, weeknights, weekends and bank holidays (all paid at the same rate)**:£18.07 per hour, regardless of when that hour is (day or night).**

**At present, ONLY DAY SHIFTS are available (e.g. 9 AM - 5 PM).**

**The work will involve providing all aspects of everyday life**, including (but not limited to):

- **Personal care** to the employer such as helping with toilet, washing, lifting and moving, manual handling, feeding, etc
- **Domestic care** to the employer search as cleaning, hoovering, doing the laundry, cooking, washing up etc
- **Social support** to the employer such as accompanying the employer when out e.g. shopping, seeing friends

The work times will vary and so flexibility is required. **The work will involve working full days, and/or shorter shifts (e.g. mornings, afternoons) on a rolling rota system.**

Typically (but not always) full days **would begin at either 8, 9 or 10 AM** (depending on other commitments) and **end at either 5 or 6 PM**.

For University students: this is an all-year-round position, **both term-time AND vacation**. 5.6 weeks holiday a year is offered as standard to everybody, but not all of every University vacation.

For foreign nationals: unfortunately **sponsorship for a work visa CANNOT BE PROVIDED.**

Finally, if we get along well, there might be the opportunity to **come away with the employer on holiday**, either in the UK or abroad. This has the added bonus that as well as being **all-expenses-paid for you, you will also get your usual hourly rate** and will therefore earn a lot. With previous successful people the employer has travelled across most of Europe, most of North America, South America, West Africa, India and Australia.

The job will suit an enthusiastic, interested and helpful person, and is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students (there will be opportunities to do your studies whilst at work). **Applicants MUST be fluent in English, but previous experience in care work is not required**.
- Note: On that last pointThis is not like any other 'care' job. It cannot be compared to working in a care home or any other similar institution. The person(s) selected will not be 'caring' or 'looking after' the man, but rather being a pair of hands for him and carrying out his precise instructions. Therefore, whilst experience in care work MAY be beneficial, it can also be a hindrance - applicants, if they have previous experience, should come with a completely open mind._
