We are looking for a kind, reliable and experienced PA to help care for Chelsea, in her family home.
Chelsea has complex care needs, including severe learning disabilities, autism and physical disabilities. She is wheelchair dependent and requires support with all aspects of her personal care.
The role would mainly involve:
Assisting Mum with personal care, including washing, changing and dressing.
Helping with moving and handling, including hoisting.
Potentially assisting with PEG feeding, following training.
Hours: A few hours in the mornings and/or evenings several days a week. Hours would be discussed with the right person.
Pay: ÂŁ15.45 per hour.
Location: New Galloway
Previous experience in a care role is important, although experience with complex disabilities is not essential. Full training in Chelsea’s individual needs will be provided. Experience with autism would be particularly helpful.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone calm, gentle, patient and observant, who can get to know Chelsea, recognise her moods and adapt their approach accordingly. Someone who understands when she wants interaction and when she needs reassurance, quiet or space.
You would be working alongside Mum and Chelsea’s existing support, in a friendly and supportive family environment.
