Personal Assistant - 15 Hours Per Week (SDS / EW / 305190)

We are looking for personal assistant to help a 25-year-old female who is looking for a personal assistant/ companion to assist her Monday to Friday. Our client has Cerebral Palsy and is a wheelchair user so will require a driver to take the mobility car from local property and drive it to her place of work to pick her up and drive home (30 min each way approx.). She requires assistance with leg exercises which training can be provided for and then assistance with anything in the home she requires.

On Monday, Wednesday, Friday there are additional hours in the evening for a shower etc. Hours to be discussed at interview. Supervision only in the evenings in case of falls as client can change and shower independently but may require assistance on occasion. Light housework can be completed whilst client showering for example.

We are looking in to increasing these hours currently to accommodate some assistance to the pool for 2 hours weekly as well which can be taken up in the near future but this is of course optional.

We would ask that you write a small paragraph about yourself which will allow the family to gain a better idea of why you would like to have this post.,

• Supervision of Personal care - being in the property
