Are you ready to embark on a rewarding journey of care and companionship? Join a team of Personal Care Assistants for a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the life of a young man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Hi, my name is Neil! I’m a young man in my 40s with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I have complex care needs; I breathe through a tracheostomy and require the use of a ventilator 24/7. I have very limited mobility and require full assistance. I live at home with my mother.
This is an exciting opportunity for a friendly, reliable, and compassionate individual who is passionate about care work and eager to provide full support in my daily life in an informal, relaxed home environment. You will be working in a casual setting which can be fun and have many rewarding social aspects. I’m looking for someone caring and understanding who is committed to helping maintain my health and wellbeing as part of a great team.
The ideal candidate will be friendly and able to build a great bond to support me in achieving my life goals.
Typical duties will include:
1. Helping with daily personal care
2. Medical, admin, domestic, and social support tasks
3. Enabling me to live as independently as possible
Experience is not necessary as comprehensive training will be provided to enable you to safely and competently carry out all the duties of this role.
As part of the team, you'll have the chance to explore new places. I enjoy going to concerts, festivals, watching TV and movies (especially Marvel), listening to music, playing computer games, and reading. I’m a huge Formula 1 fan too. You will have the opportunity to accompany me on outings including holidays and social activities.
Day shifts will typically start at 8.00am and finish at 8.00pm, while night shifts will start at 8.00pm and finish at 8.00am but can vary depending on daily activities.
Pay: £13.00 - £14.01 per hour for day shifts (£14.01 per hour after completing training). Emergency Rate for last minute shifts can be available at £20 per hour.
You must be eligible to work in the UK, be willing to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check, and provide references. Interviews will be conducted online via video messaging. Successful applicants will be entitled to holiday pay and will receive employment contracts. A valid UK driving license for day staff is essential.
