Why am I looking for a care assistant?

To build up a caring connection with me around a weekly contact point as well as for additional ad-hoc occasions and care support needs.

These might take the form of eg;

Picking up prescriptions if I am ill

Driving to/attending medical appointments (future op needs will include wheelchair walks etc)

Driving me to some social events & waiting with me an hour usually.

What would the role look like?

Weekly meet ups together to build up a good friendly team bond together; these would be mainly social / chat type (up to 2 hours)

Ad-hoc hours to support medical appointments or unfortunate hiccups etc (Premium paid for flexibility)

Potential for occasional overnight stays / support

What are the qualities I would prioritise in a care assistant?

1. Empathy - Responsive / tuned in

2. Ad-hoc 24 hour / emergency rate willing

3. Understand how anxiety naturally builds during extreme stress or pain (& use supportive techniques to see it through)

4. Step into decisions with me

plus

kind, calm, softer nature

Perceptive, sensitive insight

Pragmatic

Mature outlook

A good sense of humour sometimes helps in some situations too

Flexible to changing needs

(Would be a huge advantage if you also wished to have accommodation in a country setting one day in the near future still performing role of P.A for me)

How would I describe myself?

Empathic, caring lady with a passion for animals-linked with a dream of a possible move to a more countryside environment with accommodation for a P.A.

What else does the role need?

Be kind and comfortable around a small nervous "no touch" medical assistance dog who can occasionally be wary of you (& therefore slightly 'protective' of me) until She knows you.
