The Vacancy Headline
I require a "weekend" shift carer/Personal Assistant, for live in shifts starting Thursday 6:30pm to 8am Monday Morning. This could be every week, or alternating if two applicants want to split the month. Each Thursday to Monday shift pays 674.18 before Tax, NI and Pension deductions.
About the role:
I am 41, male and have Muscular Dystrophy, I work and have a busy social life. I require new Personal Assistant(s) to work for me between Thursday 6:30pm and Monday 8am weekly.
Your duties will include, but not be limited to:
* Personal care.
* Assisting me with my job.
* Accompanying me on social occasions.
* Assisting me with practical tasks at home and also at work.
* General domestic duties, cleaning, cooking, shopping etc.
* You may be required to accompany me on holidays, as I like to travel and see the world.
Essential skills for the role are:
* A full UK Driving Licence.
* The ability to be able to socialise with me and my friends.
* The ability to accompany me to family social occasions.
* Willingness to spend nights away from my home with me, usually due to work commitments, or social occasions.

You may at times have to assist me with my job, but this is unlikely as this shift covers the the days I do not work for a large company. However if you do need to accompany me to my own business work, you should have:
* The ability to fit in in a busy, professional, smart office
* A reasonable grasp of technology, particularly iPads as you will be assisting me to demonstrate these with work to professional users.
* The ability to drive long distances, sometimes my work can take me to any area in the UK.
Flexibility to cover other staff shifts if necessary.
About Me:
I''m 41 years old and lead an active lifestyle. My interests are varied, and I m usually happy to give most things a go! I currently work four days a week for a leading structural engineering company. Additionally, I run my own business and manage a communication aid company during my free day, evenings, and weekends.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to the cinema, attending gigs and festivals, and spending time with friends and colleagues. My friends are friendly, welcoming, and always keen to involve my PA in our activities. I also appreciate quieter evenings relaxing at home, enjoying a takeaway and a good film with a bottle of wine.
What type of person I''m looking for
I m looking for a PA/carer who is comfortable with a role that''s sometimes unpredictable, as I often plan things spontaneously. It s quite typical for me to text with a few days notice about a weekend away
