I am a caring Mum looking for a kind, reliable Personal Assistant to support my adult son in our family home.
My son has muscular dystrophy and lives with myself, his sister and our black Labrador, whom he loves spending time with. He is a calm, quiet and gentle person who enjoys watching TV, using the computer, and following Manchester City.
He keeps in contact with his friends by using the computer. He can no longer play games using the controller, but he will watch things on his computer. He has been homebound for approximately eight years now, and he cannot tolerate leaving the house. He does not like change, and this can be distressing for him.
He is verbal and able to communicate his needs.
He uses a wheelchair and requires transfers with a ceiling hoist.
I am looking for someone who is:
Kind, patient and understanding
Respectful and compassionate
Ideally experienced in working with individuals with complex health needs (training will be provided for the right person)
If you are someone who can provide calm, thoughtful support and build a trusting relationship with my son, I would love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administering medication
- Supporting with PEG feeding
- Using cough assist equipment
- Maintaining suction tubing and ventilator equipment
- Light household tasks
- No personal care is required at this stage.
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Kind, patient and understanding
- Respectful and compassionate
