About The Role
I am a female adult living in my parents' home, soon moving to my own in IP6. I have generalised dystonia and autism, requiring support with daily tasks, personal care, and transfers. I have full capacity and value making my own choices. I spend most of my day in a wheelchair, hoping to get a recliner for comfort. I need my PA to support me with activities, including travel and stays away for Boccia tournaments, which are very important to me. I also own a dog and a pony, so animal lovers are preferred. I enjoy visiting places and need support attending medical appointments. Driving is essential as I use a mobility car, and public transport is unsuitable.
I am looking for a team of PAs to support my daily living, community access, and reliability for activities like Boccia. Support with emotional well-being, personal care, and managing anxiety is also needed.
About You
The ideal candidate will live locally, be flexible, patient, calm, caring, enthusiastic, and professional. You should promote independence and respect my family and home. Female candidates with experience supporting clients with mobility, and understanding of dystonia and autism, are preferred, but full training will be provided.
During the day, a second or third PA will support with transfers due to hoist use. A rota will be planned in advance, and flexibility is required for changing hours, covering leave or sickness. All training is paid, with comprehensive support provided.
Benefits
* 5.6 weeks holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time)
* Company pension after 3 months
* Opportunity to join the Cash Back Health Plan after probation
* Free training and development
* Wellbeing and support tools
* Star of the Month and Long Service Awards
