Personal Assistant needed for 8 hours per week to support a 20-year-old male who uses a power wheelchair.

An outgoing, sociable, 20-year-old male who uses a power wheelchair requires an assistant to help him access a variety of activities such as swimming, visiting the gym, shopping, cinema trips and going for walks and days out. He would also like support accessing some of the social groups available in the area. Some personal care and assisting with transfers would be needed.

The person he is looking for would be a kind, outgoing, patient male with good communication skills. Experience would be advantageous but not essential as it is more important that a good connection is formed.

There are 8 hours per week available, these would typically be daytime and split over 2 days with the occasional full day, however hours may need to be flexible to meet the needs of the individual. This can be discussed further at the next stage of the application process.

Requirements:

  • A Full UK Driving licence (the employer may request to see your driving record as part of the application process)
  • The successful candidate must be willing to complete an Enhanced DBS check (fully funded by the Employer). Applicants who have a current DBS on the update service would be an advantage.
