About the role:

We are looking for a warm, reliable Personal Assistant to join an existing support package for a 34‑year‑old woman living in the Whitehaven area with her husband and their dog.

She works part‑time (Monday–Thursday) and is seeking an additional PA to complement her current support. One PA is providing 17 hrs per week support and an opportunity has arisen for a new PA to provide 6 hrs of support per week.

The lady has complex medical conditions including autism, ADHD and non‑epileptic seizures and is looking for someone who is the same gender, patient, good‑humoured, and comfortable around dogs. Experience supporting someone with chronic pain would be welcomed, but is not essential.

You will provide person‑centered support both at home and in the community, including assistance during periods of distress or confusion. You’ll work alongside the lady’s husband, sharing some caring responsibilities and responding appropriately in medical or challenging situations.

Swearing will occur in conversation, and you should feel comfortable with this.

Tasks required include:

• Support with showering/bath and getting dressed
• Prompting and encouragement with taking medication, eating, drinking and going to the toilet
• Driving to appointments, social activities and work
• Support to volunteer at Rainbows (you will not be expected to help with the activities or the children unless it’s to directly help the lady complete tasks)
• Drive to exercise classes and support at the beginning and the end of the classes
• Support to make meals
• Supporting with basic household chores
• Keeping the lady company
• Ensuring her safety during a seizure or asthma attack

Administering reliever inhaler if the lady stops breathing during a seizure if her husband is not available to help.
