Job Description – SUPPORT WORKER/Personal Assistant
About Myself
I’m a 19 year old female living with my family in the Merthyr area. I am looking for a Support Worker/Personal Assistant to take me out in the community as I lack the skills and experience to keep myself safe in the community and will require support to do this in a planned and supervised way.
I can sometimes be very quiet until I know you and I find it difficult to express myself. I can get anxious and frustrated in new situations or when trying to learn new skills, and I will need reassurance at these times.
I have been diagnosed with a Genetic disorder, which has resulted in extremely low cognitive abilities and difficulties with my feet and hands. I can be very unsteady on my feet and need support with certain tasks. Despite my difficulties, I enjoy a range of activities including swimming, music, and drama. I would like a personal assistant to help plan activities that promote and develop my self-confidence, social skills, personal safety, and independent skills.
Tasks and Duties
* A personal assistant should ensure I have opportunities that promote my self-confidence and decision-making skills.
* To plan activities with me that encourage my development of social skills and personal safety.
* I will need support and encouragement to express my views with opportunities to build my confidence and experiences to make more informed decisions/choices.
* To enable me to be more independent from my parents and to be able to go on activities of my choosing.
Working Hours / Pay Rate
8 Hours per week and additional hours to cover annual leave/sickness
£13.50 per hour plus mileage allowance
Type of Person Required
* A person with patience, who understands the disability I have
* A person with a positive can-do attitude
* A person with a bubbly and easy-going manner
* A person who is dependable and arrives on time
* A person with a positive commitment to this kind of work
