About me

I am a lady in my 60s living independently in my own home in Armthorpe. I have spina bifida and am paralysed from the waist down. I use a powered wheelchair and have good upper body strength, but require support with many day-to-day tasks, personal care and transfers. I also have lymphoedema/lipoedema affecting my legs, recurrent cellulitis infections and a pressure wound which is monitored by District Nurses.

My family have supported me for many years and I am now looking to build a team of caring and reliable Personal Assistants to help me remain independent and continue living life happily in my own home. I enjoy a good chat and value kindness, patience and a sense of humour.

Rate of pay: £12.71 per hour

Hours:

30 hours per week. Support is required across 7 days per week and may include some overnight support when required.

Location:

Armthorpe, Doncaster

DBS/Checks:
Enhanced DBS check required.

Right to Work and references will be needed.

What you would be doing:

• Providing personal care and continence support.
• Assisting with dressing and daily living activities.
• Supporting transfers using slide sheets, leg slings and hoist equipment.
• Assisting with showering and personal hygiene.
• Preparing meals, snacks and drinks.
• Supporting with medication and monitoring wellbeing when required.
• Changing bedding daily and undertaking laundry tasks.
• Light household duties and maintaining a clean environment.
• Supporting with shopping, appointments and social activities.
• Providing companionship and social interaction.
• Providing occasional overnight support during periods of ill health.
• Working as part of a double-handed team when required for transfers.

As personal care is involved, I would feel more comfortable with a female carer. This advert is exempt under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
