Bury, United Kingdom Northern Case Management Ltd Full time

**Are you a PA/Support Worker looking for an interesting, and varied role??**

I am a 30-year-old male with cerebral palsy. I am actively recruiting a PA for 20 hours a week to join a team of two already established carers to assist me with maximising my independence and daily routine. I currently reside in an adapted property with my family and chocolate Labrador in the picturesque ‘Hawkshaw’ area of Bury.

I consider myself an active, social, and inspiring individual, who prides myself on not letting my condition define or prevent me from living life to the full, developing my learning or trying new experiences. I am an experienced AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) user which assists me with my day-to-day communication and expressing my thoughts and feelings.

I have a job which involves going into schools and providing mentorship to others with regards to communication systems and I am regularly asked to give presentations at international conferences. I enjoy keeping myself fit, challenging myself and engaging in regular community activities such as physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, horse riding, boccia, drama, wheelchair football and education courses.

For that reason, I require a person who can drive my adapted vehicle, and possess the following qualities: is highly motivated, flexible, responsible, can adapt in complex situations, confident, has excellent communication skills, is a team player and has a passion for delivering person-centred care.

Self-confidence and initiative are more important than qualifications and experience, as you may find yourself supporting the client giving presentations at national conferences, mentoring children across the Northwest who use communication aids, planning trips away, attending wheelchair football, attending a theatre group, and many other activities.

What is essential is that you can adapt your approach to the requirements of a wide range of formal and informal situations and tailor your support to allow your client to perform to his full potential in whatever situation pertains at the time.

**Incentives of the role**:
The successful PA would join a team of two already experienced PA’s. This role is unique as PA’s would be working primarily Monday to Fridays with occasional bank holidays as I enjoy family time. You would be expected to work between the hours of 9 am - 8pm, as such no night care required at present. Due to my active social life, I tend to go away two weeks out of the year, with family or Residential Activity Holiday as such the successful applicants would also benefit from an additional paid week’s annual leave per annum.

The applicant will also be able to gain the Care Certificate qualification, equivalent to the NVQ Level 2 in Care and/or be supported with their Professional and Personal Development.

If you feel that you can match the above assets and want a varied, yet rewarding career, which will assist me to continue to achieve my life goals, then please apply.

**We're also seeking people who**:
Take personal **responsibility** for their actions, keeping the commitments they make to others

Are **passionate **about the service they provide, and show pride in delivering the best possible outcomes

Are **caring**, demonstrating empathy and an understanding of the individual needs of others

Act with **integrity** and transparency, showing respect for others diverse backgrounds, experiences, ideas and beliefs

Work in **collaboration**, working positively with others, listening effectively and communicating clearly to share information and problem solve
