Personal Assistant for lady 25 hr/wk@ £16.47/hr in Nailsea - FTE - £30.9k - Bristol - BS48
We are looking for an empathetic and caring PA who can provide social care and company for an elderly lady. 25 hours per week in Nailsea.
The individual has mild dementia which isn’t a problem yet and has minimally progressed in the 5 years since diagnosis; however, long term, she will need more care. She has lost her long-term partner not long ago and finds leaving the house difficult alone and gets very lonely. She has gone through a lot of change and stress recently, and we are looking for someone who is friendly and patient to help support her emotionally and physically.
Support needed:
* Light housework
* Helping with medicine
* Meal prep and assistance/encouragement to eat and shower
* Occasional doctors visit
The individual is very fit and active, so taking her out on walks and helping develop new routines (e.g., taking shopping, taking out for coffee) is essential. Day-to-day tasks are flexible; we are just looking for a great relationship to help build independence and keep her social and active.
We are looking for a long-term carer who can be flexible with needs.
Hours needed per week:
Around 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, but can be flexible for the right fit. We may also be looking for a carer to help cover weekends or a bank carer to help when needed.
Hourly rate: £16.47 but can be negotiated.
Required days/times: Hours can be flexible. Preferred twice a day (around 10am-12pm and 4pm-7pm); however, we will be flexible for the right candidate.
