Hours: 10 hours per week. (5 hours Tuesdays and Thursdays)
Wage: £14.70 per hour
Location: Ashford, Kent
Are you compassionate and organised? Looking for a rewarding career supporting others?
I am a 90 year old gentleman with Dementia. My daughter lives with me and ensures all my care and support needs are met at the weekends and during the evenings and overnight. I have 1 Personal Assistant (PA) who visits me on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
I am looking for a second PA to spend time with me on a Tuesday and a Thursday.
My PA will help with my morning routine. I am at risk of falling and need support to get out of bed, wash, dress and apply lotions to maintain my skin integrity. I use a walking frame to move around my home and will require supervision to ensure I am safe.
My PA will prepare simple meals for me and supervise me eating as I sometimes have trouble swallowing. My PA must also tidy up after completing tasks.
I enjoy greeting visitors and engaging in stimulating conversations which makes a huge difference to my wellbeing and happiness. I also enjoy going out for a coffee occasionally so being able to drive with access to a vehicle will be an advantage.
Previous experience in a similar role is desirable, but not essential. The position is available to start as soon as possible.
If you are friendly, patient, understanding, empathetic, and have a caring nature, this role could be perfect for you.
