Job description

PA required in East Rudham to assist a lady for 7 hrs p/w @ £13 p/h - King's Lynn - PE31

Job Purpose:
I am a lady with disabilities caused by accidents, including severe nerve pain, hand use impairment, incontinence, and fibromyalgia. I am looking for a female Personal Assistant to support me with personal care and meal preparation tasks.

Location: East Rudham, PE31

Details:
As my Personal Assistant, you will be required to help me with morning routines so I can get ready for the day. This includes help with washing, support with getting dressed, assistance with putting on my lymphedema socks, and on Fridays, a hair wash. I have African type hair and need someone who is willing to learn how to care for this hair type, although you will not be required to style my hair.
I will also need your support with preparing and making meals daily, which mainly consists of peeling and chopping vegetables. I have difficulties completing these tasks due to the problems with my hands.
You would be a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and respectful person. This is very important to me because my pain levels are very high, and sometimes even the lightest of touches can be extremely painful.
I would also very much enjoy having conversations about different topics.

Person Specification

Open-minded, a good listener who is willing to learn.
Empathetic, nonjudgmental, and respectful.

· This position requires the employee to complete the following free annual training: GDPR, Health and Safety, Food Hygiene, Moving and Handling, and Personal Care.

Post is subject to the following:
