About me
I was a very independent gentleman in all aspects of life. I worked full time prior to an accident that happened at work August 2012. I was a compressor engineer and my accident occurred when I ran into a security post which someone had not properly shut. I am quadriplegic from the accident which left me paralyzed with a neck down. The accident left me wheelchair dependant with spinal injury. I use a Zimmer Frame with the support of my carers for transfers. I eat independently if food is prepared into smaller pieces, I have special spoons and can feed myself which I am comfortable with.
Purpose of Job
I require my PA to socially interact with me, this is very important to me.
To be a good companion and have an understanding of what is required for the role of a PA. To encourage independence, wherever possible. To be flexible, both in attitude and with the working day. You will be expected to keep total confidentiality at all times and use your initiative while you are working with me.
You are expected to attend a training course on Moving and Handling/Hoist Training. You must be fit and healthy for the role due to the support I need, including hoisting, & I use a power wheelchair. You must undergo an enhanced DBS (formerly CRB) check.
Car driver with own vehicle preferred.
