NewarkonTrent, United Kingdom Solo Support Services Ltd Full time

**Seeking 2 x Personal Assistant**’s **£12.45 per hour Part time/full time**

I am a 27-year-old man looking to employ 1 - 2 Personal Assistants so that I can continue to live a full, happy, and active life in the Newark area. I am a full-time wheelchair user with physical and mild learning disabilities and epilepsy, and I have complex healthcare needs.

I enjoy playing wheelchair basketball in a league and I am a big Manchester United fan. I like to be busy, but I am also happy to relax at home. I live in a self-contained space in my parent's house, and we have a cockapoo, Leia, so being happy around her is essential. We are a non-smoking/vaping household.

You will support me in getting to sporting events, going to the cinema, shopping, and helping me volunteer at the local food bank. Ideally, you will support me in going to the local swimming pool where I do my physiotherapy. Alongside helping me to get out and about, you will help me manage my personal care and healthcare tasks.

It would be great if you have some experience, but this is not essential as all required training will be provided. You will be good at encouraging me to overcome barriers and difficulties, be patient and have a good sense of humour (we will laugh a lot). Ideally, you will be able to drive with a full UK driving license and a vehicle with space for my manual wheelchair is essential so we can get out and about.

My parents support me and will be your employer, this set-up has successfully worked for us as a family for many years.
- **Hourly Rate: £12.45, **plus 45 pence per mile (up to 100 miles a week)
- 40-50 hours available, ideally shared between 1 or 2 Personal Assistants, covering Monday-Thursday/Friday including some weekends and overnights (waking)when training is complete
- We can negotiate flexible working hours, whilst balancing my support needs.
- Please contact us if you have any questions and read the Job Description and Person Specification for the full details of the job.
