JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

 

 

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a married man in my late 60s living in the Llandaff North area of Cardiff. I have moderate cognitive impairment and short-term memory loss due to a brain injury. I have reduced mobility and I am at risk of falling. I have occasional bladder incontinence so I may need help going to the toilet. I enjoy eating out, going to the cinema and watching cricket and rugby.

 

 

PURPOSE OF JOB

 

I need someone to support me with activities outside my home.

PLACE OF WORK

 

My local community is Llandaff North / Whitchurch. I also enjoy travelling by bus or train to nearby places.

HOURS OF WORK

 

I have 15 hours a week of support agreed, to be spread over three days.

 

 

 

RATE OF PAY

 

£15.70 per hour.

 

 

TASKS INVOLVED

 

  • To accompany me on outings and to non-medical appointments.
  • To assist me with activities outside the home, e.g. shopping.

 

 

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

 

  • Reliable and punctual.
  • Patient and understanding.
  • Friendly, sociable and a good sense of humour.
  • Training in falls awareness would be an advantage.

 

 

 

 

ABOUT THE JOB

Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted.  A probation period will be necessary in the first instance.  Wages will be paid 4 weekly.  You will receive 5.6 weeks paid holiday (pro rata). You will be required to apply for a DBS check at no expense to you. Support cannot be carried out in the personal assistant’s own home.

Please Note: Dewis Centre for Independent Living is acting on behalf of a third party and will not be your employer or be liable for any issues arising out of your employment should you be offered employment.
