Hours: 14.5 hours per week

Wage: £12.71 per hour

Location: Ashford, Kent

Duration: Permanent

I am a very independent lady with Parkinson’s Disease. I live in Ashford, Kent.

I am looking for a Personal Assistant for 14.5 hours per week to provide support with my morning routine, helping me to be ready for work each day (1 hour each morning) and my evening routine (30 minutes each evening).

I start work at 7:30am and so the morning support required would be from 05.45 am – 06.45 am

I also require support to help me access community activities such as social groups and activities (3 hours per week) and some domestic duties to support me to keep my home clean and tidy (1 hour per week).

This position needs to be filled as soon as possible and applicants may be contacted shortly after submission of the application form.

As I work full time in a school setting, there is potential for flexibility at week ends and during non-term weeks which I am happy to negotiate with the successful applicant.

To encourage applications and offer flexibility, this role can be considered either as one position or split into two separate roles (weekday and weekend), depending on availability and suitability.

◦ Own transport preferable.

◦ Female only (due to the nature of the work)

This post is exempt under the Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4

Job offer subject to a DBS check.

Interview date: ASAP after successful application form received.
