Job Advert

**About the Role**

**Job Title**:Female** **Personal Care Assistant (Ref: 602HL)
**Location**: Downham Market, Norfolk (PE38)
**Pay**:£10.48 per hour
**Hours**: 9am to 5pm, 2 days a week

**Contract**:Permanent / part-time

Your contract of employment will be to support the client in this advert only. All of our contracts are for permanent positions with a 6 month probationary period.

**Vacancy Summary**:
This is a part-time (16hrs per week) vacancy for an experienced female Personal Care Assistant in the Downham Market, Norfolk area. Flexibility with working hours may sometimes be necessary due to our clients’ unpredictable day to day needs and may include the occasional weekend shift but will generally be to work 2 days a week, 9am to 5pm as agreed.

**About the Client and Support Needed**:
I live with my cat Clive. I have complex neurological disorders which can vary from day to day. I am a strong believer in equality and the social model of disability. I have been involved in the disability movement for several years.

I enjoy socialising and getting out and about. My hobbies include visiting places, car boots (I like a good bargain), gardening (I grow some of my own fruit and vegetables), crafts (I will have a go at most things) and occasionally I run my own craft workshops.

I am looking for a personal assistant who is extremely reliable, flexible and adaptable. I need somebody who can communicate in English and is able to speak, understand, read and write English clearly as I am hard of hearing.

I will need you to keep accurate records and you will be required to complete my daily work log and medication chart and be able to use your initiative and keep yourself occupied when there is nothing specific to do. You will need to be willing to help take care of my cat now and then and to provide emergency and holiday cover which will be pre-planned as far as possible.

Responsibilities include: administering medication, assistance with personal care, moving and handing, domestic tasks and driving.

I like to do as much as I can myself but as my condition is so unpredictable the amount and type of support I need can vary from day to day. I will need my PA in close proximity most of the time due to seizures.

Due to the nature of the support, when I go into respite you will not be paid but will have the opportunity to work extra shifts prior to the respite being taken. You can also take annual leave during this time if you wish to do so. You will be informed of this in advance.

**Training Provided Specific to this Client**:

- Induction training
- Administration of medication
- Food hygiene
- Health and safety
- Safeguarding Adults
- First Aid
- Personal Care
- Moving and Handling - with Hoist Transfer
- Epilepsy

You will be trained to CQC standards to meet the needs of the client. Current care experience and ‘already known to the client’ will be valued. Unless specified elsewhere, previous care experience is not essential.

**Essential Requirements for this Role**:

- You must be a confident, experienced personal assistant who has an understanding of complex care and learning disabilities
- You must hold a full, clean UK driving licence and have your own vehicle with Business insurance (or willingness to obtain) - you also need to be an experienced and confident driver
- This post is exempt under The Equality Act 2010 Schedule 9 Part 1 - there is a genuine occupational requirement to recruit **female** support workers only.
- An enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this vacancy (expense met by HomeCareDirect)
- Prepared to commit to long term care for one Client in a ‘Person-Centred’ way
- Willing to be CQC trained to meet your client’s needs
- Respect Company Policies and Procedures
- Be Reliable / Non-Judgemental / Caring / Responsible / Compassionate
- Committed to confidentiality and to treat your Client with dignity and respect

**Company Benefits**:

Company Pension Scheme
Enhanced Bank Holiday Payments
Annual Leave is paid at 5.6weeks (pro-rata) per annum, based on contracted hours
