Personal Assistant - 12 Hours Per Week (SDS / MD / 306825)

Female applicants only please - due to the personal care elements of this role an Occupational Requirement applies. This is permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

We are looking for personal assistant to help a 91-year-old female who has Dementia and would like some company to give her family a break. Our client requires some reassurance when away from family. She enjoys the company of others and would benefit from someone who is kind and understanding.

You will support her in her home to keep her mind active, suggesting ideas for gentle activities and to also keep her safe. The role will also require you to support her with personal care (if required) and meal preparation.

You should have a caring attitude, a good sense of humour, be reliable with a positive and flexible approach to work. Having previous experience of supporting people with dementia would be advantageous but not essential.

We would ask that you write a small paragraph about yourself which will allow the family to gain a better idea of why you would like to have this post.

This role requires an enhanced check through PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups).
