Personal Assistant/Support Worker Required for Young Lady in the Hartcliffe Area (67 hrs pw)
Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: bca2ab78
Would you like your work to be rewarding, fulfilling & something that makes a big positive difference to someone's life? Helping me maintain my independence & supporting me with tasks as required to achieve this; all within a dynamic, varied & encouraging environment/lifestyle?
I’m a very independent and social individual; however, I have CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)/ME, FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) & other conditions that mean I require support to maintain a balance, my energy levels & recharge my batteries.
My hobbies & interests vary depending on energy levels, pain, time of year, company, etc. I love looking after animals, gardening, being outdoors & around nature. I dabble in herbology, homeopathy & psychology. I enjoy TV series, playing some computer games, board games, home cooking & baking (would love to do more of this), and I like to listen to audiobooks. I enjoy creating and would be keen to try more artistic activities. As I am registered blind, some hobbies (as well as life in general) can have interesting challenges & need to be subtly adapted &/or I will need support to do these.
It is vital the chosen candidate(s) are understanding as my health is quite complex & can fluctuate. An attitude of supportive enabling empowerment would be best suited within this role.
I currently have guinea pigs & I'm hoping to adopt/rescue/foster/look after more animals. The right candidate(s) must be comfortable with animals & accept that a proportion of activities they may be supporting me with may involve &/or revolve around animals.
Main Tasks
* Personal care
* Laundry / domestic
* Meal preparation (healthy eating)
* Support with accessing the community/appointments/shopping (currently using a wheelchair)
* Some minor correspondence/admin support (i.e., supporting to send emails/make phone calls)
Please note the level of support required fluctuates, depending on my health/pain level that day.
Qualities in a Candidate
* Warm and friendly
* Able to use own initiative
* Encouraging to remain independent (within the confines of my conditions)
* Able to provide appropriate support to facilitate my independence
* Flexibility required (notice on flexibility will be given in advance & notice for leave/holiday can be fairly flexible too)
* Must have good understanding of the English language and be an excellent communicator
DBS will be required and checked (DBS will be taken out if candidate does not already hold a portable DBS).
Care experience desirable but not essential.
Driver's license and car is preferable.
