Care Assistant Team Leader to support gentleman with brain injury, Bristol FTE £19,200.00 - BRISTOL - BS10

I’m a man in my 50’s living in Southmead, Bristol with my family.  I am looking to employ a small team of Personal Assistants to cover regular shifts each week.  I can present challenging behaviour and I require a support team of 3-4 PAs, at home.

Total hours required for the team to work is 94.50hrs.
Daily - Mon-Fri plus weekends.  06:30 - 20:00 pm 

I would like a PA Team Leader for a workforce of 3-4 PA's to manage essential communications on things like shift changes, monitor holidays, cover shifts and completion of time sheets for me to authorise.  This will be in addition to carrying out the routine duties of a PA.  The successful applicant will need to be reliable, organised, and have a flexible approach to work.  FTE is based on 34.5hrs per week, hours negotiable.

As a Personal Care Assistant your job will be to provide personal care: 
- Toileting
- Showering
- Dressing
- Support into wheelchair 
- And meals.

Previous experience in supervision is desirable. Experience in care as well as knowledge of supporting people with a brain injury and mental health decline is essential.  There will be an opportunity to take up appropriate training - e.g. in mobility handling etc, to help you fully in your role.   Please note that due to COVID19 some training may be on line.

I am looking for carers to be a part of a team, people who are caring, friendly, patient and who can understand and deliver the needs required.  You must be able to respect my privacy, maintain a professional attitude at all times and understand my meticulous approach to daily routine. I am looking for physical support, as required, as opposed to an informal relationship.

You must be able to handle the physical skills of lifting, pushing and bending.  You do not have to be physically strong to do this but it does help, as does good general health.

When you apply for this position please specify days and hours that you are available to work.  Start time is non-negotiable, finish time can be flexible.

The position will be paid at average of £10.00 per hour and will be paid through the PAYE scheme.  This is not a cash in hand position.   I am setting up a new care team, PA hours will be decided based on availability and skills match.

Proof of ID, two references and a full DBS check will be required, before anyone is hired. There may be a trial period of 2 weeks (TBD) while the team settles.
