Personal assistant / driver required to join the support team for a wheelchair user with a Spinal Cord Injury in Bolton.

Part-time permanent position. No experience necessary.

Are you looking for a few extra hours work? Are you practical, organised and reliable?

One afternoon per week to help the client attend appointments and for social outings or to help with tasks at home.

You must have a full clean driving license.

You will ideally be a calm, confident but careful driver. You will need to drive the client’s wheelchair accessible vehicle which has an automatic gearbox. Insurance will be arranged by the client and you will need to be willing to provide all necessary details for this to be arranged.

The client has complex physical disability and uses a powered wheelchair. You will need to be able to secure the wheelchair in the accessible vehicle, therefore you need to be physically fit and have a practical nature, but you do not need experience in care nor moving and handling as training will be provided.
