The job:
We are looking for a casual personal assistant to support a young lady approaching 40 living in Derwenthorpe, York. She has mild learning disabilities and epilepsy. She is independent, energetic, loves to laugh, enjoys socialising and lives in the Derwenthorpe area of York.
Responsibilities:
* Provide personal care support: light housework, cooking, prompting medication.
* Shopping and support to socialise and enjoy activities in the wider community.
* Cover sickness and holiday shifts for other staff.
The right person:
Because the support is personal care, only female carers are required. You must be kind, caring, reliable, confident and assertive. No qualifications are needed, but a minimum of 6 months experience supporting people with learning disabilities is required. A good sense of humour and the ability to enjoy a good laugh are desirable. It would be an advantage if you can drive and have your own vehicle for work purposes, but this is not required.
The hours:
This is a bank role to pick up shifts to cover holidays and sickness.
The rates of pay and benefits:
* £12.41 per hour
* £81.92 per sleep in
* 5.6 weeks paid holiday and the opportunity for training relevant to your role.
Requirements:
Successful applicants must be eligible to work in the UK. This post is subject to DBS checks. The cost of the DBS checks will be met by your employer.
