Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: f37e65e1
Personal Assistant Required
I am looking for a reliable, caring Personal Assistant with a good sense of humour to support my 36-year-old son, Ross.
Ross is severely sight impaired and has short-term memory loss following a brain injury sustained a few years ago. He enjoys a bit of banter, but he also needs calm, quiet time as he can become mentally overloaded.
The Role
* 4–5 hours on Mondays and Fridays
* Occasional holiday cover may be required
* Self-employed basis
The role involves supporting Ross to get out and about locally and assisting him with his hobbies and voluntary work.
Monday Volunteering
Every Monday, Ross volunteers on the Lydia Eva, a historic steam-powered drifter owned by the Lydia Eva & Mincarlo Charitable Trust and maintained by dedicated volunteers.
Ross thoroughly enjoys helping with maintenance tasks such as rubbing down, sanding and staining. Due to his visual impairment, he requires a PA to act as his eyes and support him with these activities.
Other Interests
Ross also enjoys:
* Stripping cable using a specialist machine (cable supplied by his brother’s electrical company)
* Making wooden items in a fully equipped barn workshop
You would accompany and assist Ross with these activities as needed.
Essential Requirements
* Full driving licence
* Own vehicle (fuel costs reimbursed at the standard rate)
* Friendly, patient and supportive nature
If you are dependable, practical, and have a good sense of humour, this could be a very rewarding role supporting a motivated young man to continue doing the things he enjoys.
Key Responsibilities
Services
* Social + Leisure activities
* Support to remain independent
Transportation
* Full UK driving license
* Own personal car
