On-sitePermanentPart time
Support for an independent 40 year old man with MS and his young family. Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 1a9b93d8 I'm a 40 year old Muslim Asian male with with multiple sclerosis. As a result the physical aspects of life are really difficult for me. I live with my wife and 5 children ages 4-14. I'm a company director and trader, I have a busy life and like to keep active. However since my disability has progressed this has become much more difficult. I am looking for someone who can assist me in the day to day physical aspects of my life. I also have small children and want assistance in caring for them. This might be as simple as making a cup of tea to building some flat pack furniture from Ikea. As I am physically limited, support would also involve day-to-day activities at home as well as support to go out of the house. Theres always lots to keep the house running so I'm looking for someone that will get stuck into any task. I like to think of a PA as an extension of me, allowing me to continue life without disability being a limiting factor. I enjoy going to the gym 3-4 times a week and socialising. I am looking for someone who is flexible, easy going and likes a bit of banter. Punctuality is extremely important too. This position would suit someone who is happy and easy going, with an empathetic nature and a very positive and optimistic attitude to life. Due to the nature of the role, versatility and commitment is key. I'm looking for someone local preferably as support is needed often at short notice for me to do things during periods where I have energy to do them, even if its just me delegating. Punctuality, being on time to work is extremely important and being late to work isn't something I can put up with. Days and Hours are flexible. Work will be mostly afternoons and evenings however I have some important occasional appointments in the mornings. I am looking for someone to cover 4 days @ 5 hours a day however this may increase.
