Vacancy Summary:_**
This is a full-time vacancy on a permanent contract for a female Personal (Care) Assistant in the Ipswich area. The hours of work will be confirmed at the interview stage.
**_
About me:_**
I am a lady in my 20’s that has Muscular Dystrophy and I live at home with my dad. I have many interests and these include writing, poetry and fantasy fiction. I enjoy watching films and listening to music and audio books. There will be periods of time during the working shift that I want time to myself to pursue my own interests. You will spend time within my home but when away from me, I will use my mobile phone to call when support is required.
**_
What support I need:_**
The overall purpose of my support package is to assist me in having a safe, sociable, purposeful and active lifestyle, in which I remain as independent as is practically possible.
You will:
- Adhere to the support plan designed by me and approved by HomeCareDirect. This will include a wide variety of duties in my home and in the community which will enable me to live as independently as possible and in the manner in which I wish to live.
- Enable me to live a full and active life as much as possible. Encourage me to identify a variety of social and leisure activities that I would like to do. Assist in the planning and organising of these activities, ensuring I am as involved as possible.

- Attend appraisal sessions with a HomeCareDirect representative so that feedback can be provided and any issues raised and discussed. Career progression and further training opportunities for personal assistants will also be discussed here
- Comply with relevant legislation and HomeCareDirect operational policies and procedures
A full, valid UK driving license is required. It is preferable that you have your own suitable vehicle to take our client out and have the appropriate insurance in place or change to driving our client’s vehicle.
