46 year old with Spinal Muscular Atrophy requires 28hr care (£13:25/hr in Leeds) - LS25


Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 6e6b8aa6


Personal Specification
I'm looking for more than one personal assistant as I need practical support eg. washing, dressing, toileting (inc. suprapubic catheter care), and routine personal care in order to get up and ready for work which starts at 8:30-9:00am. In the evenings, I need support with getting ready for and into bed. Assistance is also required to help me with some household chores. I only need one person per shift so the 28 hours will be split among the personal assistants.

Mornings approx. 07:00-10:00 and evenings approx. 20:30/21:00-21:30/22:00. I can be flexible with evening and weekend timings for the right people. Unfortunately, my employer won't let me start any later in the mornings!

I am looking for people who possess the right values and qualities and understand the importance of person-centred care. Experience in care and support isn’t essential, but attributes like empathy, enthusiasm, a calm approach, a willingness to learn and adapt, and reliability, are qualities I am looking for.

Do you think you could be the right person to help me thrive and enjoy my independence? I would like to hear from you!

About me
I have Type 2 Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I use a power wheelchair and have ceiling track hoists in my bedroom and bathroom. Experience with working with someone with my condition would be preferred, however full training will be given. No previous medical experience needed, but you must be in good physical condition to sustainably manage daily manual handling requirements.

I live in LS25 with my husband and two teenage sons.

Ideal Candidate
  • A willingness to be open minded and flexible to changing needs
  • Able to learn/act under instruction is essential
  • Non smoker
  • Armed with a fun sense of humour

You will be provided with:

  • Bank holidays paid at time and a half
  • Paid leave
  • Enrolment into a workplace pension
  • A welcoming household with endless supply bad jokes from us all

Successful applicants will be subject to a DBS check and clearance at my cost.
