PERSONAL CARE ASSISTANTS

Needed to provide personal and social support to a disabled man while pursuing a full and active life as a university researcher.

The work will involve providing all aspects of care to the employer including dressing, washing, helping with toilet, lifting and moving, cooking and feeding, etc. The work will involve providing constant support in all aspects of life including at work, domestic activities e.g. shopping and general socialising.

Full-time and/or part-time work available, permanent.

The work times will vary and so flexibility is required. Times will be arranged to suit. The work will involve working full nights, and/or full days, and/or shorter shifts (e.g. mornings or afternoons), as part of a rolling rota system.

£12 per hour, regardless of day, night, weekend, bank holidays etc.

If interested, candidates in the first instance should reply to this message to get an application form (which they can download). The application form needs to be completed and returned before anything can proceed. Therefore, please only reply if you intend to complete the application form - this is very simple, and should only take 5-10 minutes to complete.

The work may suit people who enjoy being in an academic setting. The job will suit an enthusiastic, interested and helpful person. Applicants MUST be fluent in English, but previous experience in care work is not required (and, even, is a hindrance).

Note: On that last point… This is not like any other 'care' job. It cannot be compared to working in a care home or any other similar institution. The person(s) selected will not be 'caring' or 'looking after' the man, but rather being a pair of hands for him and carrying out his precise instructions. Therefore, whilst experience in care work MAY be beneficial, it can also be a hindrance - applicants, if they have previous experience, should come with a completely open mind.
