PURPOSE OF THE JOB
I am a disabled young woman, who wants to increase her independence by employing a personal assistant to accompany me to get out and about, and access leisure activities in the local area and further afield. I would also want my personal assistant to help me with activities and hobbies at home, especially if the weather is bad. The job may involve some personal care.
I use a specialist communication aid to communicate with those around me. My personal assistant would not need to have experience with this device, as my mum and I are happy to explain and demonstrate how it works, and to help the PA to get used to it.
I require a personal assistant who can provide the assistance I require under my direction. My personal assistant must be reliable, honest, trustworthy and punctual and be able to work flexible hours. They must have a good sense of humour, as I love to have a laugh and this makes me happy.
The person I employ must have an understanding of the need for confidentiality in all areas of work including total respect for my privacy.
SUPERVISION
My personal assistant will be directed by and accountable to me in all aspects of their work. She must always ask what I require and not make assumptions about any aspect of the assistance I need or how it should be carried out. She should not carry out tasks unless we have first discussed it.
MAIN DUTIES
My personal assistant will be required to do the following tasks and may be asked to carry out other tasks of a similar nature:
Accompany me on outings or days out
Accompany me to go shopping
