Job Reference

(c0b6) Job Description Below are the details regarding the purpose and general responsibilities of the role, providing insight into the position. Job Purpose To assist a young individual with diverse healthcare requirements. Location Swaffham, PE37 Position Details I am a cheerful 26-year-old who uses a wheelchair and am looking to hire a Personal Assistant (PA) to provide my mother with some respite from her caregiving duties. I have complex needs, including mobile peg feeding, so prior experience in this area would be beneficial. While receiving my peg feeding, I enjoy engaging in arts and crafts as well as gardening, so a PA who shares these interests would be ideal. I require assistance with personal care, transfers from wheelchair to toilet, and my PA should be capable of maneuvering a manual wheelchair and supporting me with stairs (at least until I transition to more suitable living arrangements). Due to some communication challenges, it is essential that my PA speaks clearly. I can be sensitive to sudden loud noises as I have acute hearing. I appreciate spending time outdoors when possible and have a fondness for animals and classic cars. We have a small dog at home, so a pet-friendly individual is necessary. Ideally, my PA will possess a valid driving license and have access to a personal vehicle with the appropriate insurance coverage. Person Specification

  • Able to work independently
  • Female preferred due to personal care requirements
