We are looking for a support worker/personal care assistant for our young lady in the Basildon area. This post is for 10hrs per week: Monday 9am - 7pm, with the opportunity to work an additional 2 days per week on 13 weeks out of the year.
About the Client and Support Needed:
I am looking for exceptional, dedicated, skilled personal care assistants to support me to maintain my independence and assist me in the development of social networks. I want to be as active as possible and I will require you to accompany me to various outdoor venues. You will be required to maintain and promote my safety whilst at home and undertaking social activities.
I love crafts, knitting and keeping my mind active. I like shopping, coffee shops, the theatre and going out to see new things. On Wednesdays I attend my local sports centre. My favourite game to play is boccia and I also like trampolining and swimming. I have been told that I am kind-hearted, have a lovely nature and I'm a pleasure to work with!
As a member of my care team, you will be responsible for a wide range of asks that can vary by the day so an amount of flexibility is required. You will need to be reliable, caring, supportive and respectful. You must have excellent communication skills and work in line with the set policies and procedures in place.
Some of the main duties include:
1. Administration of medication
2. Personal care may be necessary
3. Mental health support needs
4. Assisting me in the community
5. Administrative duties
6. Accompanying me to attend appointments
