Personal Assistant - Southport - PR9
Personal Assistant needed to cover the books (cover shifts, unclaimed shifts). Unfortunately, this would mean a 0-hour contract to start out with. We do have a member of staff away for a minimum of three months due to an operation, which could also mean she won't return if unable to work, allowing us to offer a 24-hour a week contract.
The care we offer is 24-hour assisted living in our client's own home in Southport. We work 12-hour shifts on rotation, including handover.
You would be expected to assist the client in keeping the house clean and up to standard, including washing dishes, hoovering, dusting, and mopping. Making sure there are no trip hazards is essential, especially for someone with a low immune system.
Our client has a pet cocker spaniel that needs walking and feeding.
The client would also need assistance with making meals, getting dressed and washed, moving from his wheelchair to either his bed or the sofa, and further assistance with social and leisure activities, such as going to town for a coffee or going to the gym.
Lastly, you would be required to administer medication and fill in hourly nursing notes and daily MAR sheets to keep a record of his health and controlled medication.
Qualifications aren't 100% necessary as we can provide basic training; however, we do ask that you have at least 3 years of experience in care.
Our client suffers from a degenerative spinal condition and compression in his lumbar spine, resulting in numbness and nerve damage. This has left him wheelchair-bound and has also resulted in him suffering from complex PTSD. Our job is to make the client's day-to-day living experience safer and easier. Our client would like to remain as independent as possible and is capable of doing certain things on his own, needing only supervision and monitoring round the clock.
Experience in health and hygiene, plus manual handling, is preferred. We are looking for someone who is confident and can handle high-stress situations while maintaining a positive mindset and a good sense of humour, as you will be spending considerable time with the client.
Please contact us at support@ukcil.com or 03330508010 to hopefully arrange an interview. Induction and training will be provided as well.
