PA Vacancy

Social Personal Assistant – LIGNCL

Hours: 6 hours every 2 weeks

Area: Newbiggin, Newcastle upon Tyne

Rate: £14.00 per hour

 

Artur is an easy-going unassuming man of Polish origin (he speaks English), who lives with his wife and 6-year-old son in the northwest of Newcastle. He is looking for a PA to take him out socially whether it’s a visit to the coast or a museum or just a place of interest and stopping somewhere for a cup of tea or hot chocolate or even just to provide support at home for him.

Artur has a hypoxic brain injury following a heart attack, and he now has a pacemaker fitted, and it has also impacted on his short-term memory and also his mobility when walking. When out and about Artur needs to be prompted to go the toilet as it can come on quickly and on occasions, he has a little accident.

The purpose of this role is to provide some respite for his partner Lidia to enable her to go swimming or the gym or to attend any appointments she has booked.

A car driver would be preferential, and mileage will be reimbursed, but not essential as Artur has a companion pass which allows the PA to travel free,

 

This post is subject to a satisfactory DBs check and references which will be taken up if you are offered the post.
