Back to PA Vacancies

I have vacancies for enthusiastic, inexperienced or experienced Carers/ P.A.'s to help me to remain independent in my own home.

Are you a good listener, good at picking up new skills, reliable, trustworthy and adaptable?
If so then have you considered working in the care sector for a lovely gentleman, like myself, so I am able to stay as independent as possible.
The job will be challenging and frustrating, interesting and varied, but hopefully, rewarding and satisfying.
Full training will be given

Duties include:

  • Cooking
  • Other relevant duties as required
  • Moving and handling
  • Bathroom assistance
  • Medication prompting/administering
  • Dressing / undressing
  • Housekeeping
  • Eating and drinking assistance
  • Personal grooming

Candidate qualities:

  • Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
  • Reliable with good timekeeping
  • Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
  • Hygienic, tidy and well organised
  • Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
  • Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
  • Honest and cheerful
  • Creative
  • Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
  • Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

A good listener
Sensitive to the fact that they will be working at the employer’s home:
be aware of other family members and to minimise interruption to them
treat employer’s home and belongings with care and respect
be wary and sensitive to the family’s routines, procedures and practices personal to them
Previous experience is not as essential as a kind and common sense approach is to the role; the employee’s potential, personal qualities. Approach and attitude is more important than experience.
