JOB DESCRIPTION

Carer/Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a severely disabled gentleman in my mid-fifties in Pontyclun.

Many years ago now, when I eventually reached the top of the housing list, I was offered a Cynon Taf Housing Association house, which was a semi-disabled-adapted property in the Llanharan area of Rhondda Cynon Taff and still is a semi-disabled-adapted property.

I moved to the Llanharan area into adapted housing, after a long period of living with my parents, near Pontypridd, which was far from ideal.

I have several conditions that affect my mobility, cognitive functions and my short-term memory.

I have suffered 2 x full strokes (CVA’s) and several mini strokes (TiA’s) which have affected my left side and I also suffer from controlled epilepsy. Due to these conditions I need constant reminding/prompting to do every day things e.g. when to take my medication and have meals and wash etc. I’m not comfortable in very busy situations but I’m able to communicate o.k. in a 1 to 1 situation and 2 to 1 situation with my live-in partner/fiancée present, who has also suffered from: a completely co-incidental; serious stroke & a spinal injury too. We met at a stroke group for “Younger” adults.

I also have angina, following a heart attack, which is controlled mostly. The damage to discs in my spine, has recently been diagnosed as Degenerative Disc Disease & Severe Spinal Stenosis, which has severely affected both my physical back pain & my other Mental Health issues e.g. Depression, Anxiety & PTSD.

I have a hospital bed with an air pressure relieving mattress downstairs (also, occasionally we use our through floor lift and sleep upstairs); use an electric wheelchair (my partner more regularly uses her own electric wheelchair), but I am officially & medically able to drive my 3.5L V6 wheelchair accessible van which does take my electric wheelchair in the back.

Any carer must, when I’m not well enough to drive, be able to drive; self-insured for any vehicle; old enough to drive 3.5L V6 wheelchair accessible van; confident enough to drive such a powerful vehicle; able to secure both my electric wheelchair.

I am interested in Information Technology and used to teach this to adults. I have also run my own business for 20yrs, worked in forensic nursing for 7yrs and as a funeral director’s assistant for 6yrs.

I enjoy other peoples company but enjoy some quiet times as my illnesses can make me feel very tired at times. I also enjoy watching the rugby, as I was a rugby referee for 10 years.

With the help of a Personal Assistant I am looking forward to pursuing new interests (e.g. Wheelchair Snooker & Darts) and re-starting my 10m .177 target rifle shooting at Tondu or Cardiff and archery in Llanharan.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

The main purpose of the job is to provide me with the support and encouragement I need with every day things, to make sure I am safe & well and that I don’t have falls when we are out. This support will also help me feel more confident and to introduce new routines and interests into my everyday lifestyle.

DAILY TASKS CAN INCLUDE

• Minimal support with personal care, mainly to make sure I am safe
• Ensuring I am dressed correctly before we head out
• Supporting me with social interactions, sometimes managing situations on my behalf, ie, making payment in the shop or querying something
• Taking me in your own car to places I enjoy
• Assisting me or participating with me in some of the activities I enjoy
• When we return home, helping e change clothing
• Assisting me to use the toilet as and when required
• Keeping me company at home, watching a film etc.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• A patient, outgoing person
• Someone who is reliable and flexible
• A person who is confident and has a long-term positive commitment to this sector of work
• A person with a mature attitude who has the ability to assist me in various aspects of my life
• Someone with initiative to help change repetitive routines and introduce/suggest new interests
• A person who respects the privacy and confidentiality of working in someone’s home
• A driver who is willing to use their own car if necessary for which mileage will be paid
• Someone who has experience of Epilepsy and Strokes would be an advantage or someone willing to learn or attend courses to help learn more about my disabilities

HOURS OF WORK

There are 7 hours per week available to be worked flexibly throughout the week.

RATES OF PAY

Starting rate of £12.21 per hour during your trial period.

ABOUT THE JOB

This position is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check), which must be completed prior to the commencement of employment. The cost of this check will be covered by the Local Authority.

All necessary checks will be conducted to verify that any candidate has the legal right to work in the UK before employment begins.

Although this is a part-time role, it is a legitimate position requiring the submission of a National Insurance number. Employment will commence under an initial trial period.

Wages will be paid on a monthly basis and appropriate holiday pay will be provided.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant (Part-Time)

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

Emelene (Meem) is a popular, happy and caring child. She was born with the condition ACC, which means that the part of her brain that connects the two sides of her brain is missing; this means that she has global development delay and has limited mobility. However, Meem is very chatty and has a great sense of humour; she particularly loves watching movies and searching on Youtube for her favourite characters. She likes to eat chips with mayonnaise and spaghetti Bolognese is also a favourite. For an occasional treat, nothing beats a McDonalds!

Meem is currently not able to use the toilet, so is in pads; she sometimes needs help eating and drinking – although she often likes to do this herself. She also uses a wheelchair to move about, except in the home where she’s more confident in walking small distances.

She likes to talk/interact with everyone, including strangers, so care needs to be taken with her interaction with others and how appropriate the level of interaction is – she is very affectionate and often asks for cuddles/kisses which we discourage except for family and close friends.

She is not keen on people touching her hair or physically fussing her, teasing or using sarcastic humour. She doesn’t understand it. She likes to chat but often is difficult to understand so patience is important.

Meem also has epilepsy, which is well controlled.

HOURS OF WORK

There a 6 hours per month available, working 2 x 3 hour sessions at the weekend.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

We are looking for a Personal Assistant (PA) to help and support me with tasks at home and to go out into the community, ensuring my safety.

Meem loves reading books and watching movies. A trip to the cinema to see the latest Disney film with a visit to McDonalds is her idea of the best day out! She’s less keen on noisy and enclosed environments. She is a proper home-bird and loves to sit and read or watch TV.

RATE OF PAY

£15 per hour plus 40p per mile where applicable

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

• Helping Meem to eat/drink
• Helping to change pad
• Sitting with Meem and read books, watch film/TV
• Taking Meem out for food and/or to the cinema
• Ensuring Meem’s safety at all times

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• A driver with access to your own vehicle and business class insurance is essential (expenses are paid by arrangement)
• Someone who is patient and has a sense of humour
• Someone with knowledge of movies
• A person who is dependable, reliable and arrives on time

ABOUT THE JOB

The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check) which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).

The relevant checks will be carried out to ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK before you start work.

Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The salary will be paid on a Four Weekly basis (on or around the 5^th of the month) and appropriate holiday pay given.

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 13-year-old boy, living with my family in the Ton Pentre area

I’ve been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and have chronic asthma which means that I need some help, support and guidance when I’m at home and when I go out and about in the community.

My disability causes me to have no awareness of danger and to take undue risks, placing myself and others at risk of harm, generally taking risks. I have no road safety awareness or sense of my own safety.

As a result I cannot be left unsupervised at any time.

Despite this, I’m very active and have a great sense of humour. I enjoy going for walks in the summer, going to the park and the beach. I like going to McDonald’s and dining out in restaurants, swimming, bowling and bouncing on the trampoline. I love watching TV and like to watch films in the cinema.

I attend school at Ysgol Hen Felin which keeps me busy during the week and I generally spend time with my family outside of school.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

My parents are looking to employ a personal assistant outside of school hours to take me out into the community to undertake social and leisure activities or sit with me at home, helping to promote my independence and develop my social and communication skills whilst giving my parents a short break from their caring role.

This will involve collecting me from and travelling to wherever the activity is and supervising me to ensure my safety at all times.

You will work alongside another Personal Assistant when we go out into the community on a 2 to 1 basis to ensure my safety.

I’m preferably looking for someone who would interact and participate in activities with me. This could include playing games and doing activities at home with me when the weather is bad or taking me to places I enjoy.

RATE OF PAY

£13.20 per hour

Plus Mileage Allowance (when applicable)

HOURS OF WORK

There are 3 hours per week available during school term time and 6 hours per week during school holidays

Days and hours of work to be mutually arranged.

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

• Making sure I am safe at all times around the house
• Making sure I am safe when out and about
• Interacting with me at home or out in the community
• Providing me with companionship
• Taking me to the park or to activities like swimming or the cinema
• Driving me to activities further away from home
• Helping me to get a snack or drink if needed

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• Driver with access to own vehicle
• Someone quite active and energetic, friendly and approachable
• Someone with a good knowledge of the local area
• Someone with knowledge or experience of Autism (preferable)
• Someone with knowledge or experience of learning and behavioural difficulties (preferable)
• Someone patient and understanding
• Someone flexible with hours of work
• Someone punctual and reliable

ABOUT THE JOB

The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check) which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).

The relevant checks will be carried out to ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK before you start work.

Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I have Dystonia, which is similar to cerebral palsy.

I’m a cheerful, happy person who likes a good laugh. I’m very chatty and have an opinion on most things.

I’m an adventurous eater and I like to try out new recipes. I am not very good with spicy food.

I am a bookworm- I use my Kindle without assistance. I enjoy many genres, from fantasy to historical fiction to the occasional rom com. My favourite books are Six of Crows, Legendborn, Lessons in Chemistry, Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers and Weyward.

I love going to the cinema and the theatre. I am also passionate about watching Athletics and enjoy attending live events. I adore music. My favourite artists at the moment are Sabrina Carpenter, Maisie Peters, Olivia Rodrigo, Renée Rapp and Niall Horan.

PURPOSE OF JOB

I have just started my first full-time job after graduating from university. You will be helping me to be as independent as possible while I’m working.

• Preparing and feeding me meals (breakfast, lunch, snacks)
• Cleaning my teeth
• Being present during meetings to help clarify my speech if needed
• Providing occasional support with my electric wheelchair
• Accompanying me on weekend outings, such as shopping or visiting friends in Birmingham or Oxford

You will receive training for all these aspects of my care. A driving licence is desirable for weekend work, but not essential. Please read the full job description before applying.

JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I’m a woman in my late 50s living in Cowbridge. I experience depression and anxiety so require some gentle encouragement and support to be more active outside of the home. I also have Osteoporosis.

Although I’m not what you’d call ‘people person’, I make up for it by being sensitive, funny, empathetic, caring, kind, gentle and organised. I have a dry sense of humour and am very much an introvert. I enjoy singing, music and quizzing.

I’m not keen on busy and loud places or big groups of people. So if I do go out, quiet and mentally stimulating activities would be best. For example, I enjoy playing Bowls in the summer and participating in local quizzes.

PURPOSE OF JOB

To encourage me to spend time outside the home, participate in the community and hopefully form new friendships and interests.

HOURS OF WORK

2.5 hours per week.

On occasion my husband works away so there will be extra hours available.

RATES OF PAY

£15.00 per hour

40p mileage

TASKS INVOLVED

• Social and community based outings
• Encouraging and motivating me to be involved in activities outside the home
• Shopping during quieter times of the day

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• Someone who has a gentle nature and soft approach to interaction
• You must be friendly, supportive and willing to build a friendship with me
• A confident person who will be proactive in suggesting activities
• You must respect the confidentiality of working in the home
• A car driver/owner to use your car for work purposes

ABOUT THE JOB

This position is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check), which must be completed prior to the commencement of employment. The cost of this check will be covered by the Local Authority.

All necessary checks will be conducted to verify that any candidate has the legal right to work in the UK before employment begins.

I have no awareness of danger, including road safety and stranger danger. I am impulsive and require a high level of supervision at all times to reduce risk of physical harm.
