This is an external vacancy and is not employment with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
A gentleman in his mid 70s requires a Personal Assistant for 17+ hours per week. He has PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy), which affects mobility and increases fall risk, so he requires support at all times.
The role involves assisting the gentleman to his chair using a lift, supporting with washing as he is unable to do this himself, holding him during exercises, and helping him downstairs via a stairlift. Support with feeding may be required but might not be necessary. The role also includes cleaning his room downstairs. Personal care tasks include strip washing until other adaptations are in place. A care plan is in place and will be updated as needed.
We seek someone reliable and trustworthy who can become part of the family dynamic and build a good working relationship with the gentleman and his wife. The role will be discussed further at interview.
DBS and reference checks are required for this position, with costs covered by the local authority.
