Female Personal Assistant / Carer

Rate of pay: £13.45p/h = 11 hours per alternate week. Plus, additional hours when required. I am a female wheelchair user with a sense of humour who is looking for a reliable, flexible, kind, chatty and honest person. Essential support:

• Personal care, including organisation of weekly medication.
• Use of commode/shower chair and ceiling track hoist.
• Domestic tasks, including meal preparation.
• Driving to social and medical appointments.
• Empathy and understanding of personal needs and autonomy.
• To work closely with the employer and her other P.A. to create a happy care team.
No previous caring experience is necessary but willingness to learn and to provide high quality care is essential. I need someone who can drive a manual wheelchair access car confidently, both locally and further away (e.g., Queen Elizabeth Glasgow). PVG check required. Work pattern:
• Alternate weeks (one week on/one week off).
• Total of 10 hrs worked over Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and 1 hour ironing.
• Plus, flexibility required around other days for social and medical appointments (e.g., QEUH Hospital, Glasgow). These will be discussed and pre-agreed.
• Additional hours will be required for occasional weekend, weekday / tea calls / evening calls due to family respite, holidays, and work commitments. The extra shifts will be equally shared between you and another P.A.
• Additional cover also required for sickness and annual leave of other P.A.
