Job Description:
Job Reference: (71d) I am looking for a PA to support me in my home for a total of 8 hours a week in Fishponds. This ideally would be 4 hours on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Due to my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME (CFS/ME), I am looking for a PA who is compassionate and takes initiative. We will provide basic training to have a working knowledge of CFS/ME.
My condition is an invisible illness that limits my ability to complete tasks. The main areas of need are Personal and Domestic Care.
Duties to Include:
1. Awareness of my CFS/ME limitations to support me accordingly, as these will change each session.
2. Assistance with bathing and hair washing.
3. Planning food diary and shopping lists, including checking what is already in the house.
4. Cooking meals with some shopping.
5. Housework and laundry.
6. Support with medical appointments and prescription collection.
Main duties will vary day by day depending on my needs and energy levels.
What I Expect from My PA:
1. Professionalism and the ability to learn quickly, as I am not used to having anyone in my home for long periods.
2. Observation and understanding of my energy levels for that day.
3. Support in managing my expectations based on my energy levels.
4. Compassion and awareness of my condition, particularly when I cannot explain myself.
5. Kindness and non-judgmental support that leaves me feeling energized.
6. Willingness to scaffold me in tasks during times when I am able.
I have many interests including listening to books, gardening with supervision, limited visits from friends, and watching gentle films.
Things That Are Important to Me:
1. Reliability is paramount.
2. Clear, non-judgmental communication.
3. Independence to complete tasks without supervision.
4. Honesty.
5. Sensitivity to my mental clouding and condition.
6. Careful planning and structured activities to ease my confusion and fatigue.
Training is available from us around Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, including online training from the hospital.
Two references required. A DBS check will be requested from every successful candidate. It is required to have a full clean UK driving license and your own car.
