JOB DESCRIPTION MVOG1096

Weekend Personal Assistant(s) Required – Penarth

A Little About Me

I am an elderly lady living in the Penarth area with a diagnosis of mixed dementia. I already employ a Personal Assistant; however, due to a recent deterioration, I have been awarded additional support hours.

I enjoy gentle walks into Penarth for a coffee and cake or to pick up the newspaper. I do not use any walking aids but appreciate having someone’s arm for reassurance. I also enjoy watching old films and listening to classical music.

Purpose of the Role

I am seeking kind, reliable Personal Assistants to support me both in my home and out in the community, helping me to remain safe, comfortable, and engaged.

Hours of Work – weekend

2 x PA’s doing a four hour shift each on both a Saturday and Sunday (11-3 & 3-7) OR 2 PA’s to do 8 hours each one on a Saturday and one on a Sunday

You will also be required to provide cover for other PAs during holidays or sickness.

Rate of Pay

£16.10 per hour

Duties and Responsibilities

Personal care

Meal preparation

Prompting with fluids and medication

Social stimulation and companionship (at home and in the community)

Support with shopping

Walking into Penarth for coffee, cake, or newspapers

Light domestic duties (laundry and cleaning)

Support with undressing and dressing into nightwear

Assisting me to bed and helping me settle in the evening to reduce fall risks

Ensuring my safety at all times

Person Specification

The successful applicant will be:

Experienced in, or knowledgeable about, dementia and how it affects individuals

Sensitive, patient, and understanding

Nicely spoken and a good listener

Gentle, calm, and reassuring

Female applicants only, due to the personal care requirements of the role

About the job

Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four weekly and appropriate holiday pay given.

The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).

The relevant checks will be carried out to ensure any applicant has the right to work in the UK
