Job Description:
Excitingly, we are looking for a new team member to join my son’s care team, part time, at our house in Cheadle Hulme. Full Time, 148 hours approx over a 4 weekly period. Mixture of overnights and day shifts. Extra hours to be picked up ad hoc.
My son is 21 and studies Journalism full time at university in Stretford, but lives in our family home along with his beloved pooch. He has his own room and bathroom and a private area for his PA to watch Netflix, Amazon or to study or do any other hobbies during down time. (Draw the line at golf!)
Assisting him to live a full life includes driving him to university, helping him in his lessons, going to social events with his friends, or attending a Manchester United football match at Old Trafford, as he is a season ticket holder. You may also relax at home with him where he likes to game on his Xbox, watch YouTube, and TV. You may type up a uni assignment or help him with a project.
He has a severe physical disability which means he relies on various pieces of medical equipment, including a powered wheelchair, overnight ventilator, hoists, peg feeds, and medicines. He also needs all personal bathroom care. It’s not the life he would have chosen, but he is lucky enough to have a great team of people who keep him healthy, safe, smelling fresh, and looking good, all whilst promoting his independence.
We can offer a permanent contract, flexible hours, 5.6 weeks holiday, professional certified training, and a lovely family-friendly working environment. A care background would be fabulous, but a practical, can-do attitude, willingness to learn, and initiative are essential; everything else can be trained.
You need to be relatively fit and physically able, have a very good sense of humour, and enjoy banter. Flexibility with hours is required to cover holidays and sick leave. Hours will consist of some overnights but mainly day shifts, including evenings and two weekends out of four.
We need a driver who is over 21 and has a clean licence for insurance purposes on his Motability vehicle. You won’t be working every minute on shift; there will be a lot of down time, but you will be paid for every minute you are here, so why not apply and give it a shot?
