About this role
Personal Assistant F/T @ £17.00 Female Applicants only - Central London
I’m looking for Personal Assistants for my 31 year old, non-verbal daughter. She lives at home with her family and has complex needs, a learning disability, controlled epilepsy, and sometimes displays self-injurious behaviour when upset or in pain. She can walk short distances but mainly uses a wheelchair where she needs to be pushed by her assistants. She’s doubly incontinent and uses pads.
My daughter loves being busy and being out and about in the city. She is an affectionate person who loves food and music. My daughter enjoys a multitude of activities including; cycling, swimming, dancing, music therapy, bowling, art, yoga, pampering, physiotherapy, sensory activities, storytelling, walks in the park and around town, and going to museums. She attends a day centre on most days.
This is an active role which involves assisting my daughter with her activities. The candidate will also be expected to provide personal care such as toileting, showering, administering medication, assisting with eating and drinking and some physio. You will be working alongside another experienced PA in the daytime or with myself and my partner in the evenings/weekends. Transport is almost always provided but there are times where you will be taking public transportation.
