Purpose of Job

My name is Colin Palmer.  I am a disabled man who needs some assistance with some aspects of daily living.  I live in my own home with my wife and need some support to maintain my independence.  I have a long-term health condition and have developed strategies to enable me to manage my condition and therefore it is very important that as my Personal Assistant you respect these strategies.

As my Personal Assistant your job will be to provide the domestic and social assistance that I need to enable me to live in the way which I want to.  My personal assistant will work under my direction to meet my needs and will be accountable to me in all aspects of your work. You should always ask first what my needs are and should always listen to and act on my requests and directions.  I prefer that my assistance is given by someone who must be reliable and able to work flexible hours.  They must also be able to respect my privacy and have an understanding of the need for confidentiality in all areas of their work.

Good general health is important as I need help with everyday lifting and carrying.

My Personal Assistant will also provide some relief for my wife and assist her with some household tasks and shopping.
