JOB DESCRIPTION MVOG1103
Personal Assistant(s) Required – Penarth
A Little About Me
I am a lady in my late 70s living in the Penarth area with my pet dog. I have chronic sciatica and diverticulitis, and I use a walking stick, crutch, Zimmer frame, or trolley to support my mobility around the house.
I currently receive daily support from a care agency but am looking to transition this support to Personal Assistant(s). I attend a weekly art class, which is very important to me. Otherwise, I spend much of my time at home and enjoy watching television.
Purpose of the Role
I am seeking kind, reliable, and patient Personal Assistant(s) to support me in my home and, when possible, out in the community.
Hours of Work
1. 7 hours per week
2. Support required daily, Monday to Sunday
3. I am happy to consider more than one PA to cover these hours
4. You will be required to provide cover for other PAs during holidays or sickness
Rate of Pay
5. £14.35 per hour
Duties and Responsibilities
6. Personal care and hygiene support
7. Applying prescribed creams
8. Cleaning the commode
9. Meal and drink support
10. Social stimulation and companionship (at home and possibly in the community)
11. Emotional support when I am struggling
12. Assistance with putting shopping deliveries away
13. Light domestic duties (laundry management, cleaning, putting bins out)
14. Any other practical tasks as time allows
15. Ensuring my safety at all times
Person Specification
The successful applicant will be:
16. Experienced in, or knowledgeable about, my medical conditions
17. Sensitive, patient, and understanding
18. Clear, well-spoken, and a good listener
19. Gentle, calm, and sympathetic
20. Comfortable working in a home with a dog
Female applicants only, due to the personal care requirements of the role
About the job
Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four weekly and appropriate holiday pay given.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).
The relevant checks will be carried out to ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK
