Job Description:
Hi. I am 31 years old and I'm looking for a full time PA (20 hour week - 4 hours every week day and holiday pay).
I have these conditions:
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): basically my blood vessels don't work properly so all the blood goes straight down and I feel faint, fatigued and occasionally pass out. When it's been really bad, it's caused a brain haemorrhage.
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS): my connective tissues don't work properly so I get a lot of chronic pain and I'm prone to dislocations. I need a wheelchair to move around outside the house.
• Gastroparesis: my stomach has stopped working so I'm having a feeding tube fitted to get my hydration and nutrition.
• Hemiplegic migraines: these are migraines that look like strokes.
My interests are:
• Reading
• Animals
• Space and astronomy
• Photography
• Lego (there's no point in being an adult if you can't be childish sometimes!)
• Even more reading!
I'm looking for a personal assistant for 4 hours every week day who can:
• Help me with household jobs, like food preparation, cleaning, laundry, hoovering, dusting, mowing grass, etc.
• Remind me to take my medications. If I'm having a migraine, it might involve squirting my migraine relief up my nose (glamorous, I know!)
• Help with flushing my feeding tube and doing tube feeds (it's easier than it sounds, I promise!)
• Sometimes take me to appointments or hospital (obviously I'd make sure I reimburse you for petrol money!)
• Take some time to have a chat or go out somewhere from time to time (again, I'll reimburse petrol money).
We do have lots of animals - an anxious but very friendly dog and two rabbits and three guinea pigs who live upstairs.
Please do get in touch if you feel you could be of help. I'd love to meet you.
Requirements:
• Must be eligible to live and work in the UK (without sponsorship).
• No criminal background. Post is subject to a DBS check.
• Exemption Clause if required: This post is exempt under the Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4
How to Apply: Please contact 03000413600 or email DP Recruitment - AH dprecruitment@kent.gov.uk quoting reference 20260911NN1589069
