Hello, I’m Kate, a 33-year-old powerchair user, and I’m looking for a passionate, proactive female personal assistant to join my team. The role involves 8 hours of work per week, spread across Saturdays and Sundays, with two possible shifts on a rota: 08:00am – 12:00 noon or 17:00 – 21:00. There are also opportunities to pick up extra hours when cover is required.

My personal care routine, which includes assistance with showers, toileting, and transfers (using a hoist – full training provided), is a key part of the role. On some weekends, we may head out for shopping trips or tackle household chores. You must be a confident cook, as meal preparation will be part of the job.

As I have a canine assistance dog, you must be comfortable with dogs and willing to help clean up after her when needed. While I currently live in temporary accommodation in Elswick, I plan to move in the future.

Outside of my daily routine, I love spending time at the polytunnel, going for dog walks, and exploring my creative side through art. If you’re proactive, quick-thinking, calm, and enjoy spending time outdoors, we’ll make a great team.

This role is about supporting me to live independently, and I’m looking for someone who shares a passion for making each day both productive and enjoyable.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, I’d be thrilled to hear from you!

Finley is a happy, energetic and boisterous boy who has a great sense of humour and a huge smile. Finley has diagnosis of Global Developmental Delay and Autism. He is non-verbal but can make his needs known in various ways such as taking someone’s hand and leading them to an item he wants. He can also make different vocalisations to show whether he is happy or sad.

To support his communication Finley is starting to use some core vocabulary symbols and can make his own choices from photographs. Finley can sometimes struggle with transitions and likes to be shown photographs of where he is going. Adults supporting Finley should use short sentences and key words.

Finley has a visual impairment which causes him to squint. He also has an unsteady gate, and his feet turn inwards when he walks and runs and can make it seem like he is going to topple over. Neither of these seem to cause him any distress or to need further support.

Finley LOVES being outdoors whatever the weather, wind and rain being his favourite. He likes climbing up high and watching different materials blow in the wind, especially flags. He likes swimming, parks and after being so active having some nice food. Finley needs his food cut up and support to eat using cutlery. He can put too much in his mouth at once and is at risk of choking.

Finley needs support with all of his personal care and constant supervision. He has no awareness of danger and is a very fast runner! Finley uses a wheelchair when he is being supported to access the community to keep him safe.
