A kind, reliable and highly experienced female Personal Assistant is required to support a lady with a range of physical and mental health needs to remain safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible in her own home.

The successful applicant will need to be mature in nature, calm, patient and confident in providing person-centred support.

Experience of working with people who have complex health needs, reduced mobility, falls risk, sight loss, non-epileptic seizures, dissociation, PTSD, or emotional wellbeing needs would be highly beneficial.

Duties will include support with personal care, continence care, safe administration of medication, simple meal preparation, minimal domestic tasks, mobility support, reassurance, monitoring of wellbeing and support to access social and leisure activities when required.

The role would suit someone who is gentle, respectful, observant, and able to respond safely and sensitively to changing needs. A good understanding of safeguarding, moving and handling, food hygiene, hand hygiene, first aid and challenging behaviour would be an advantage.

A car driver would be preferred but is not essential. The post is not live-in and does not require use of the applicant's own vehicle or a mobility vehicle.
