Job Reference (ec2dcc7f)
Support Worker/PA Job Description
I work as a self-employed artist and storyteller; I live with my partner, our teenage daughter and our cat. I have multiple sclerosis and use a wheelchair outside of the house. In addition to obvious physical symptoms, I suffer from extreme fatigue which means that sometimes I struggle to speak and my breathing can become very raspy. I enjoy open water swimming, gardening, wildlife, reading, sewing, crafting and am a disability rights campaigner.
I am looking for a support work/PA to help with a range of duties around the home. The post is for 10 hours to be split over 2 days. Working hours could be anytime between 9.30 & 4.00 which we would reach by mutual agreement and would ideally be Tuesday and Thursday or Friday, however there is room for some negotiation.
The job offers a lot of variety and each day may be different. Good communication skills and understanding of my needs which may vary depending on my health, are essential. Ideally I’m looking for someone who has some experience in term of looking after a person with needs, someone who will enjoy a chat over a cup of tea
Main duties include:
· Ability to drive
· Managing medication and ordering repeat prescriptions
· Food preparation and cooking from fresh ingredients
· Ensuring my lunch is prepared and easily available and I may at times need reminding to eat
· Shopping
· Cleaning
· Laundry and ironing
· Arranging appointments and handling telephone calls
· Help typing up emails and written work (basic IT skills required)
· Light gardening
· Any other duties as required
I look forward to hearing from you!
