JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 18 year old man, living with my parents and siblings in the Ely area of Cardiff. I have cerebral palsy and limited verbal communication. I can say yes or no to make my wishes known but am working on communication aid so that we can have proper conversations. I have 5 hours a week available for me to go out and about with a like-minded individual, ideally with similar leisure interests. I like football and rugby (watching in person and on the TV). I also like gaming and cinema but I’m keen to be outdoors as much as possible. I use an electric wheelchair to get around along with my wheelchair accessible vehicle. Having support away from my family is new to me, so I’m keen to get to know you and build things up slowly. Initially, my family may accompany us, until we both confident with each other.

PURPOSE OF JOB

To help me access the community, giving my parents and family a break as well as me having a break from them! :-) When working together, I would like to do fun things.

PLACE OF WORK

The job will start in my family home, with the objective of me getting out and about as much as possible. Depending on how things work out, the job may evolve.

HOURS OF WORK

I have 5 hours a week which I would ideally use on Wednesday evenings or on weekend days.

RATE OF PAY

£15.65 per hour.

TASKS INVOLVED

Assisting me out and about in the community.
Helping me eat and drink.
Assisting me with pad changes on occasions.
Keeping me safe and stimulated whilst in your care.
Supporting me with existing leisure interests and helping me develop new ones.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

Reliable, honest and trustworthy.
Fun and outgoing individual.
Punctual.
Flexible and adaptable.
Willing to learn about my needs and care wishes.
Willing to be trained in moving and handling.

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.

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.
