**Lifestyle / Care Assistant to English Literature Uni Student**

**Are you a recent graduate and not sure what to do next? Or are you someone with a passion for making a positive impact in others’ lives?**

We are looking for a care assistant to support our client with personal care and daily living in her home in Ilkley.

**Location: Ilkley, Leeds**

**Shift Pattern: Daily Support - 1 week on / 1 week off**

**Holidays: 5.6 weeks (pro rata)**

**Bespoke training in the client’s particular requirements will be given**

**On-call support from client coordinator**

**About our client**:
Our client is an 18 year-old university student, currently studying English Literature at Leeds Beckett University. She lives with Triplegic Cerebral Palsy, which profoundly weakens three of her limbs, meaning everyday tasks such as navigating campus and travelling become a challenge.

Our client needs full-time comprehensive support to help meet her needs, including assisting her with mobility, personal care and general support. You will support our client at home on a daily basis in Ilkley during summer time, then transfer to live-in in September in Headingley.

As well as being a book-lover, our client loves to get out and about, including going to restaurants, gigs and the cinema to name a few

**As written by her**

“Reading, listening to music, and collecting records are my passions, and it would be amazing to find a PA who shares these interests and understands the challenges I face due to my triplegic cerebral palsy.

Living with cerebral palsy means that I have difficulties accessing certain things compared to the average person. Transportation is a challenge for me, and I may need assistance getting around. Additionally, putting on some items of clothing in the morning can be a struggle. That's why I rely on a PA to help me with these tasks and ensure my comfort and independence.

Beyond the practical aspects of the role, it would be truly wonderful if you share my interests in reading and music. We could spend time discussing literature, recommending books to each other, or simply enjoying music together”.

**About you**:

- Friendly with a good sense of humour.
- You are able to both follow directions and work off your own initiative.
- Motivated and enthusiastic
- Flexible and hardworking
- Fluent in English
- Calm, patient and caring with a friendly approach and a good sense of humour

- Hold a full UK Manual Driving License, as you will be required to drive the client’s adapted vehicle **(preferred but not essential)**
- **No care experience is needed as full bespoke training in the clients particular requirements will be provided**

**Duties will include**:

- Personal Care
- Health Care
- Travel assistance
- Daily Living
