Details
I am looking for personal care for a Woman
Drivers licence required: Yes
Hours per week:
Between 6-10 hours per week to be discussed and mutually agreed with the employer
Hourly pay rate:
£12 per hour
I am an outgoing single mother, and I am registered blind. I use a guide dog and have 4 children between the ages of 13 and 18.
I require help in the home with domestic duties and I have a small garden that requires some attention so an enjoyment in gardening (though limited to summer months) would be a bonus! I also require help with the children, helping with their homework tasks including art and reading material.
I enjoy home cooking but am unable to do much of this due to my vision so someone who enjoys to cook or bake would be good.
I also require help outside of the home – with the children as well as with me on my own.
I enjoy going to evening events (comedy nights / theatre) but need someone with me as I am unable to get around unfamiliar venues well.
I also need assistance with taking my guide dog to the park for his 'free run' a few times a week.
Duties include:
- Helping to select outfits that match.
- Reading
- Leisure activities
- Comfortable taking my guide dog on occasion.
- Accompany me and my children on appointments.
Candidate qualities:
- UK Driving Licence, own car optional as employer has a car
- Previous experience preferred but this is not as essential as a kind and common sense approach to these roles.
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position you will be employed directly by the individual employer and not Independent Lives. Successful applicants will be entitled to Holiday pay and will be issued employment contracts.
