An exciting opportunity to join the vibrant and creative life of a 26-year-old disabled parent, writer, and performance poet in York. The client lives with her 2-year-old son and is looking for a second Personal Assistant (PA) to join her support team. This position is funded through the Direct Payment scheme via York Adult Social Care.
The client lives with multiple disabilities, including physical impairments (she uses a powerchair), Autism, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions (C-PTSD, clinical depression). Her life can be busy and full of events, and she needs a second PA who is organised, patient, and compassionate to help her thrive.
The Role
This is a flexible, part-time position for approximately 60 hours per 4-week cycle, with duties including:
- Assistance with mobility and daily routines.
- Support with personal care, including showering and hair washing. Client doesn't need assistance with going to the toilet.
- Helping with parenting tasks, such as nursery pickups.
- Attending a wide variety of community events, including swimming, soft play, gym sessions, and theatre visits.
Regular evening and weekend work, with occasional overnight travel (approximately once or twice a month). All travel and accommodation costs for trips will be covered.
Why join this team?
A Rewarding Role: Make a genuine and meaningful difference in a person's life while building your CV with a unique position.
Excellent Compensation: A competitive hourly rate of £15.50 per hour (non-negotiable), reflecting the specialised and individualised nature of the role.
Exclusive Benefits: Free access to swimming, gym, and spa facilities when accompanying the client, plus eligibility for Blue Light Card discounts, Carers card, paid trips and more.
Supported Work Environment: A fun, relaxed, and meaningful work environment. The client's current PA has worked with her since March 2024 and is happy to answer any questions you may have about the role.
Wellbeing and support: NEST pension, SSP, and mat/annual/compassionate leave.
