Personal Assistant Needed to Cover Shifts
We are seeking a Personal Assistant to cover shifts and unclaimed shifts. This position initially offers a 0-hour contract, with the possibility of a 24-hour per week contract if the current staff member, who is away for at least three months due to an operation, does not return to work.
Our care service provides 24-hour assisted living in clients' own homes in Southport. Shifts are 12 hours on rotation, including handover periods.
You will assist Dave in maintaining the household, including tasks such as washing dishes, hoovering, dusting, mopping, and ensuring the environment is free of trip hazards and suitable for someone with a low immune system.
The client has a pet cocker spaniel that requires walking and feeding. Additionally, you will assist with making meals, getting dressed and washed, transferring from wheelchair to bed or sofa, and participating in social and leisure activities such as trips to town or the gym.
Responsibilities also include administering medication, filling in hourly nursing notes, and completing daily MAR sheets to monitor health and medication control.
While qualifications are not mandatory, we prefer candidates with at least 3 years of care experience. Basic training will be provided.
The client has a degenerative spinal condition and lumbar spine issues resulting in numbness, nerve damage, wheelchair dependence, and complex PTSD. Our role is to make daily living safer and more comfortable while supporting independence. The client is capable of some activities independently but needs supervision and monitoring around the clock.
Experience in health, hygiene, and manual handling is preferred. We seek confident individuals who can handle high-stress situations, maintain a positive attitude, and keep a good sense of humor, as you will spend considerable time with the client.
