Support at home to remain living independently. The team consists of 3 Personal Assistants, so hours are flexible and can be swapped around if required. Holiday and sickness cover are provided.
Additional support is required currently as more assistance is needed with getting up, lunch visits, food preparation, and evening assistance to get to bed. No personal hygiene requirements at this stage, but there must be someone on site when the service user is in the bathroom – another carer currently assists with showers.
HOURS OF WORK
Minimum of 10 hours per week. Working days: Thursday, Friday, Sunday evenings, and every other Saturday. Evening shift: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Lunchtime visits: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (when Daughter on respite). Though a part‑time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number. A trial period will be necessary initially. The wage will be paid every four weeks, and appropriate holiday pay will be provided.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check – which must be completed before employment can commence. The cost of this will be borne by the employer (Local Authority). A clean driving licence is required.
