Info

Personal Assistant Hackney, London

Saturday and every other Monday night, additional hours available.

Looking for an exciting and rewarding role, within the health and social care sector, that is 100% person centered? Want to make a difference in my life?

I am a gentleman in my early 40’s, with cerebral Palsy, scoliosis, athetoid quadriplegia and I am looking for personal assistants to join my existing team. Due to my physical disability, I need full support with all aspects of daily living to promote my independence to achieve a good quality of life. I very much enjoy attending musical activities; I like watching TV and socialising with my family and friends.

The right candidate will be calm and have a genuine caring nature, good communication skills and a sense of humour. Driver would be preferable, but I wouldn’t turn down the right applicant if a non-driver.

I like to travel, applicants need to be able to travel both within UK, and outside of the UK.

I am outgoing and NOT a stay at home type of a guy!

Due to the nature of the care and support I require, individuals experienced in health and social care would be preferred, however full training will be provided. Various shift patterns are available during the day as well as waking nights.

Tasks will include supporting with my personal care, nutrition, all moving and handling, domestic chores and enabling me to access the local community. Full training will be provided.

Rates of pay -£12.50-£13.35 per hour. 5.6 weeks holiday is awarded per year as standard (pro rata for part time positions).

Employees are also able to join the Company Pension scheme after 3 months’ service, subject to the rules of the scheme, as well as our Cash Back Health Plan after completion of a successful probation period. If you are interested in applying, please send a covering letter and your CV to office-north@solosupportservices.co.uk or please ring the office on: 0345 241 5565 to request an application form.
