A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 35 year old man living in the Sully area with my parents, I am quite shy but when I get to know you I can be very chatty. I am looking for a PA of a similar age to share my interests with me and accompany me occasionally to physio appointments. I would like to go Bowling or Mini golf when we are out and maybe stop off for a coffee or brunch.

I enjoy playing on my Nintendo wii and listening to all types of music when I am home.

Since covid I have become isolated I don’t like big crowds of people and not always aware of my surroundings so will need extra support there too.

I have focal Epilepsy and Learning Difficulties and can communicate ok but sometimes I do get a bit confused with my conversation. I am conscious when having a seizure and will often know if I am going to have one, but will need your full attention and support when we are out as sometimes I try to hide the fact that I am having a seizure.

PURPOSE OF JOB

  • Social Activities.
  • To help build my confidence when we are out in the community and to ensure my safety at all times.

HOURS OF WORK

4 hours to be worked but not on Friday. Ideally a morning or an afternoon so the position would suit an existing PA looking for additional hours

RATES OF PAY

£15.00 per hour.

TASKS INVOLVED

  • Supporting me to go out and about.
  • Supervising me at all times to make sure I am safe.
  • Help me find new activities and places to go.
  • Help me access my snacks/food/drink- I have a nut allergy but do not need an epipen.

 

 

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

  • Driver with access to own vehicle.
  • Non Smoker.
  • Someone vigilant, present in the moment and pays attention at all times.
  • Someone friendly, approachable and has patience.
  • Someone punctual and reliable as routine is very important to me.
  • Someone quite active and energetic.
  • Flexible with hours of work.
  • Positive approach to the job.
  • Confident and able to work on your own initiative.
  • Respectful of other people’s homes and property.
  • Someone who shares my interests and can suggest things to do.
