This is an external vacancy and is not employment with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
A lady in her mid to late 70s with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia requires a personal assistant to assist her with everyday tasks. The lady's physical and mental health can fluctuate on an hourly/daily basis.
Most of the time, she will say she needs no help and can manage herself, but generally this is not the case. The lady lives with her husband, who has his own health problems but does not require help with these.
The role requires someone to supervise her in the shower and help her get out of bed if she is not already up when the carer arrives. Support is needed with getting dressed and choosing suitable clothing according to weather conditions.
The person must be reliable and good with timekeeping. We require a candidate who can be trustworthy and able to make good conversation, as the lady is very sociable.
This role is currently 6 days per week, with the possibility of increasing to 7 days per week.
