About The Role
I am a young woman living at home in Nuneaton with my parents. I have a small, supportive team of personal assistants who help me with my personal care and everyday living. An amazing opportunity has become available to join my small team and make a difference in my life. I am looking for someone who can help me enjoy life, not just support me with care needs but also share in the fun. I love going out, whether its for a wander around town, a trip on the tram, or simply to do a bit of people watching. I also enjoy more adventurous activities when I’m feeling up to it. I am a big fan of Disney, but I also enjoy fast rides and motorbikes. Most of all, I enjoy good company and making the most of each day.
I like to have a plan and routine, so on shift we will talk through the day together. I can sometimes take a little while to settle with new people, but I usually warm up quickly once we’ve spent some time together.
Shifts typically include four six-hour weekday shifts starting at 10:00 and finishing at 16:00. We are looking for someone to cover set days each week (to be agreed with the Team Leader). There may be opportunities for additional hours if you are looking for more work. You will be supporting me with personal care such as bathing and dressing, administering medication via a PEG (full training provided), continence care, hoisting (training provided), light domestic tasks, and accompanying me out into the community.
