Purpose of the Job: To deliver high quality professional care whilst supporting the person in all aspects of their daily routine as a student of History at Cardiff Uni. Duties include meal prep, shopping, light domestic duties, helping with getting around campus and to lectures.
As written by the client... I am starting my first year at Cardiff University to study History, in September. This is a full-time degree and it will be my first time living away from home. I am looking for a PA to help me with personal care, academic support, and socialising. I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), which is a severe, rapidly progressive, muscle-wasting, life-limiting condition, so I need somebody who is understanding and patient. I am a full-time wheelchair user and don't have the ability to walk, but I won't let this stop me from enjoying the full university experience. I will be living in student halls, where you will have your own separate room for privacy.
I am looking for a PA who is friendly, outgoing, sensible, but fun. It's important that you can socialise with my friendship group. If we get along, you will certainly get along with my friends like a house on fire! (But please don't set my house on fire!!!).
About You:
* Must be trustworthy, reliable, have a sense of humor, and be flexible.
* You will be energetic, proactive, motivated to do your best for our client at all times, a team player with good conversational skills.
* Experience with professional care is desirable but not essential, as full training will be provided.
* DBS check and references will be required upon successful application.
* Clean full UK driving licence (essential).
* Flexibility to ensure 24/7 cover when needed.
