Advert updated 01.09.22
We are looking for a PA who is motivated, positive and upbeat, who has kindness and patience, a good sense of humour, and who can help my son achieve some of his personal care needs independently of his parents, and really make a difference. Someone who can handle the physical and practical side of caring, as well as being someone he can talk to.

My son is a teenager living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy which is a degenerative, progressive and life-limiting condition affecting all the muscles in the body. He uses a powered wheelchair, cannot stand or walk, and has a limited range of movement. Experience in hoisting, moving and handling, and personal care is very important, though full or refresher training can be provided.
He has a great sense of humour, and is bright and articulate. He's chatty when he gets to know you, is fun to be with and is very creative. He loves animals and art, music and media, and like many teenagers, he loves gaming. He's at mainstream school in the sixth form.

We currently have 9 hours per week available, helping mainly with the physical aspects of caring such as personal care, toileting, hoisting, showering, washing, putting to bed and getting settled, helping with physical therapy.
Looking ideally for three evenings/bedtimes a week for a bath/shower and bed call, for example Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings start 8.30pm

Thank you for taking the time to read our advert :)
