Assistance with personal care like showering, toileting, dressing, hoisting, meals etc. Other tasks include assistance with general household chores, accompanying me to any social events, taking the dog out for a walk (a very friendly and small Jack Russell) shopping etc. Previous experience in care is helpful but by no means essential as full training will be given.
I have a wide range of interests including music/gigs, gardening, sport, cooking, history and socialising. My existing team of 4 PA/carers have cared for me for a number of years now. If you have a happy disposition, good sense of humour, able to work on your own initiative, are caring and interested to learn how to support somebody with a spinal injury (full training in spinal injury care will be given) this is likely to be an ideal position for you. A competent driver is essential.
