Job Reference (79036252)
Super Waking Night PA needed for upto a 24-hours per week contract, to support myself Mitch and join my team! I also have some day shifts available.
I am a 34-year-old man, who lives in the Cheswick Village, Stoke Gifford area of Bristol, South Gloucestershire. I live with my 2 children, our friendly old Black Labrador Bella and I work as a Community Researcher at The University of Sheffield. I also have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and use an electric wheelchair.
I love getting out and about, going on trips away, all types of music, going to gigs, concerts or the theatre, music / food festivals or a football match when I can, watching films and going to the cinema, being arty, spending as much time as I can in nature, keeping in touch with my family and friends and I am a bit of a foodie who enjoys cooking!
I require 24 / 7 one-to-one support with all of my day-to-day personal care and support needs from my lovely team of trained PA’s. I am looking for someone who is positive, caring and compassionate, punctual, understands their role fully, gives autonomy and takes a person-centred, trauma-informed approach to support me to live my life in the best way I can.
