This is a permanent post available for immediate start, with an allowance of 5.6 weeks annual leave.
Shifts would be negotiated with plenty of notice and some flexibility, usually within the following pattern:
Each week:
2 hours of supporting with cooking / household tasks / errands.
2 hours of supporting with cleaning.
Possible times would be after 3pm on a Monday or Wednesday; and after 1pm on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. This could be negotiated as one shift or two.
Each month:
4 hours of supporting me as a parent on a Saturday or Sunday. This could be negotiated as one shift or two.
In school holidays the above is usually adjusted, so more of the hours are used for supporting me as a parent and less is used for household tasks. Sometimes more hours are available in school holidays depending on family circumstances.
Summary of role:
I am a 38-year-old woman seeking a Personal Assistant (PA) to support me due to an energy-limiting disability. The role is focused on assisting me with some aspects of everyday life and supporting me to be an active parent to my 6-year-old son. My husband is also registered as my carer, and at times the PA will provide support while he’s working or having respite.
Must hold a clean UK driving licence and be confident driving me and my son to places. (It’s not necessary for the PA to have their own vehicle as I will insure them on my car).
