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. 10 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.**

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._
