Wigan, United Kingdom Possabilities Full time

PossAbilities values lie at the heart of the organisation and are the foundation for everything we do. We're keen to recruit someone who shares the same values and behaviours:

- Integrity - we communicate openly and honestly and build relationships based on trust, respect and caring.
- Creativity - we thrive on innovation and encourage positive risk taking.
- Happy - we believe fun is the key to success.
- Person centred - we believe that everyone has the right to exercise choice and control in directing their lives and support. We inspire people to achieve greater things.
- Passionate - we are dedicated and enthusiastic to providing exceptional services.

**Where?**

We work in many locations, mainly across the Oldham MBC area. The advert you responded to will tell you your main working location, but you may be asked to work in another location to best meet the needs of individuals we provide services to.

**What?**

Personal Assistants have a wide range of duties and tasks. There’s more about these later. The main aim is to provide the best personalised support to our service users whether they are in Supported Living, Day Services, Respite or Outreach.

**Rewards**

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. The starting salary for a Personal Assistant is £23,151.49 per annum (pro rata for part time). We will pay up to an additional 4% of your salary into a pension plan for you, which will grow every year until you retire.

You will have a chance to progress. We give you training and help you gain your care certificate and Diploma qualifications.

You may be required to sleep-in overnight at one of our facilities or people’s homes. You’ll be paid extra for this and given time off in lieu when you attend house meetings.

That’s not all. You’ll get twenty days paid holiday plus eight statutory bank holidays.

**The hours**

Individual needs come first, and so we need a lot of flexibility when it comes to your working hours. These will be scheduled on a rota basis with the rest of your team and can include sleep-ins; waking nights; weekends; and Bank Holidays.

**The essential purpose of this job**

We support adults with learning disabilities, Autism, Dementia, Mental Health and Acquired Brain Injury. They are vulnerable, that’s why they need support. That doesn’t mean that they cannot decide for themselves what kind of support they want, how they want it and what services they want to access.

So helping them to achieve these things is an important part of this job. So too is encouraging them to be active and develop connections with other people outside their circles of support; helping them to seize opportunities like getting a job or taking part in leisure or learning activities.

You’ll help them to look after the places where they live and to reach their full potential, becoming as independent as they can be. We’ll teach you all about positive risk taking and how to encourage it so that individuals can live as normal a life as possible.

Just like you, they and their families have a right to dignity, diversity and to be an individual. You are there to make sure that these things are respected and maintained.
