As a Personal Assistant your duties will include promoting independence, emotional regulation and safety, support to create and maintain social connections and engage in therapies for wellbeing and establishing and encouraging a routine.

You will be assisting the young woman with her relationship with family and friends, in and outside of the home and helping care for her pet dog and turtle.

Communication and engagement skills, reliability, honesty are essential to this role. Genuine passion for helping others and a strong work ethic is crucial. Due to her disabilities the young woman requires assistance with mobility aids such as a wheelchair or mobility scooter to access the community, so your own car and driving licence is essential. This role will also include occasionally taking the young woman to healthcare and hospital appointments. This is a part time position for 10 hours a week. The hours will tend to be mid-week over three days but this is subject to change to accommodate medical and social appointments, so an element of flexibility would be desirable. Rate of pay is £13 per hour plus 5.6 weeks paid annual leave pro rata and a workplace pension scheme. Must be willing to undertake a DBS check (the cost of which will be covered by the employer).
