To assist the Employer to access the community, i.e. attending baby groups, visiting friends or family or going shopping etc. If the Employer is visiting friends/family, you may be asked to run errands for her whilst she visits (you will need to stay fully contactable, during this time, until the Employer is ready to be picked back up). All destinations are within the county of Northamptonshire.
You must therefore have a full driving licence and have access to a reliable car. The car must have enough seats to carry both the Employer and her son (ideally with isofix capabilities for the baby seat, although it can be secured using seat belts) and have a big enough boot to transport her collapsible wheelchair. Business cover on your motor insurance policy is essential (proof will be required). Mileage will be paid, minus commute.
The Employer has a small child, so you will need to assist her in putting her son in/and taking him out of his car seat, as required. The Employer may also request that you assist in lifting her son in and out the bath etc. Please note that any assistance with the child must only be given when requested by the Employer.
Light household duties, i.e. vacuuming, mopping the floors, changing beds, tidying the kitchen etc.
Preparation of hot drinks or snacks as wanted. Reheating a pre-made meal if the Employer requests, and also assistance with preparing food (selected by her only) for the Employer's son.
Any other task which the Employer may reasonably ask you to do which falls within the scope of the job as a Personal Assistant., Please note you will be directly employed by the person (or their representative) that you will be assisting. The Council is not the employer.

The successful applicant will be friendly, open-minded and non-judgemental. You must be able to give empathetic support, while respecting the Employer's independence but also able to take instruction.
