Personal Assistants support people to live well. They provide the right support at the right time to help others to live their best lives. Is this you? Do you want a job that is rewarding and fulfilling?
The Role
A family is seeking female personal care assistants in Acomb. You will support an adult brother and sister with Downs Syndrome who live in their own home. You will provide them with personal care including assistance to shower and dress. You will also support with aspects of daily living, including meals, games and activities in the home and the community as well as household tasks.
The Person
You will join a lovely team of established carers who work with the family during the week, supported by the clients' sister who lives next door.
The family is seeking someone friendly, caring and reliable.
Experience of supporting or caring for people with Learning Disabilities or Dementia is essential. Routine is important, so the family are seeking someone looking for a long term, permanent position.
Some flexibility to cover additional shifts when other team members are on leave would be an advantage, as would a driving licence.
