A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 60 year old lady living in the Pontypridd area. I am bubbly, friendly, articulate and considerate. I like watching television and films, particularly romcoms such as Love Actually, and have a very eclectic taste in music. I really enjoy trips to the cinema. I also like reading and going out for coffee.

I have Bipolar disorder but am currently experiencing improved mental health. I am very chatty and outgoing, and wouldn’t want my mental health to define me as a person.

I’m very sociable and like having company, I’m a good communicator and have a great sense of humour. I’m looking to recruit someone down to earth, with similar interests, who I can talk to, get on with and go out with to do things I enjoy.

At present, I need a wheelchair because of my arthritis in my knees and bad back, I use a wheeled walker support trolley around my flat, and I am able to transfer to a vehicle for transporting purposes.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

 

The purpose of the job is to encourage me to get out and about socially, taking part in various activities which I enjoy, whilst boosting my confidence and increasing my independence.

I also would require assistance with my appointments, which I mostly have in advance.

RATE OF PAY

 

£13.25 per hour and double pay on bank holidays, plus mileage where applicable

 

HOURS OF WORK

 

8 hours per week, to be worked over 2 or 4 days. This could change if I have appointments which I will give you notice for.

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

  • To accompany me when out doing things I enjoy – i.e getting some fresh air, cinema, shopping, going for a coffee
  • To encourage me to try new things
  • Drive me to any medical appointments

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

 

  • Someone who is friendly & down to earth
  • Someone who is chatty
  • Someone with similar interests to me
  • Someone with a good sense of humour
  • Trustworthy
  • Car owner / driver
  • Someone punctual & reliable
  • Respectful of confidentiality
  • Someone with similar work experience & knowledge of mental health is desirable
