ABOUT THE ROLE
I'm a 23 year old young man looking for a personal assistant to join my team and help me live my life the way I want. In 2020, I acquired a brain injury, which means I am fully immobile and need support with most aspects of daily living.
As my personal assistant, you'll help me:
With all personal care and mobility needs, including hoist transfers and positioning in my wheelchair or bed

Attend physiotherapy sessions and support my ongoing physical rehabilitation

Participate in social activities I enjoy, like football matches and trips to the pub

Engage in music, social media and time with friends and family

Stay comfortable, safe and supported, particularly during times of frustration or distress

You'll be part of a close-knit PA team and will work alongside my family to ensure my routines are followed and my independence is supported wherever possible.

Kind, patient and respectful of my independence

Reliable, flexible and able to work as part of my existing PA team

Comfortable supporting someone with complex physical and communication needs

Sociable and able to join me in normal social activities with people my own age

Able to anticipate my needs and stay calm during certain moments

Understanding of boundaries, treating me as an individual rather than just my disability

Able to follow guidance around respectful communication

Abe to drive (not essential)

Able to cover annual leave or sickness when needed to maintain continuity or support

Full training will be provided, including hoist use, personal care, physiotherapy support, and communication methods. A DBS check and safeguarding training are required.
