Personal Assistant for a disabled woman P/T @£11.50/hr in Meanwood LS6 - LEEDS - LS6
LOCATION: Meanwood LS6
PURPOSE OF ROLE:
I am a 45 year old single woman living with debilitating illnesses that affect my mobility and ability to live a life without pain. I use a power wheelchair to get around and also have a folding wheelchair for social outings. I have numerous long-term health conditions causing chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. Due to this, I tire easily and need to manage my energy levels carefully.
I'm looking for a PA with a good sense of humour and a positive outlook, who understands that my health fluctuates throughout the day. There are days I can enjoy conversations, and other times I need assistance with specific tasks while I rest. I can be anxious in unfamiliar situations, so I will need reassurance and support.
Ideal candidates should have a good understanding (or willingness to learn) about chronic illnesses. A car driver with own transport is essential. Previous experience is preferred but not required.
DUTIES TO INCLUDE:
1. Personal Care – assisting with showering and dressing.
2. General household tasks such as laundry, mopping, hoovering, changing beds, ironing, and other standard household tasks.
3. Support with meal prep and shopping.
4. Assistance and company for socialising and getting out and about.
5. Plus any other reasonable requests.
SUPERVISION:
My PA will be directed by and accountable to me in all aspects of their role. They must respect my independence and ask rather than assume what assistance I require. A full induction and training will be provided.
Hours: Due to my health, I need a PA(s) who is flexible to work changing shifts. I am willing to take on more than one PA and share the hours according to availability.
Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and must hold a clean and valid UK driving license. Due to the nature of the role, strict confidentiality is required.
