Back to PA Vacancies

I am a woman in my 40s with MS. I live with my son and husband, and our pet cat.

I am a friendly person, with a good sense of humour. I like to see the brighter side of life and laugh at things when they invariably go wrong. I am a glass half full kind of person. Where there's a will, there is a way!

I am looking for a female PA with a similar outlook on life to help me lead an independent life. I will need help with personal care and getting into bed one evening a week and the weekend.

I am a power wheelchair user and use a hoist to transfer, so knowledge and experience would be necessary. I am very independent and like to do as much as I can, and be involved.

I currently have two other PAs that help with four evenings per week and every morning. It would be really good for you to join the team, so that I am fully covered for all shifts, every morning and every night, and hopefully you can cover each other.

Duties include:

Medication prompting/administering
Personal grooming
Moving and handling
Other relevant duties as required
Administration
Housekeeping
Shopping
Cooking
Transportation
Dressing / undressing

Catheter care

Candidate qualities:

Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
Reliable with good timekeeping

Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
Honest and cheerful
Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
Must be comfortable with pets
Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

A good sense of humour
Able to work efficiently
