Job Ref: PG LM. Weekend Personal Assistant to support a 39 year old chilled out disabled guy

---

About me:
My name is Paul. I’m 39 and have Huntington’s disease. I’m a very chilled out guy that loves to watch TV and DVD’s. Irn Bru and chocolate are my favourite things to eat and drink. I have 2 cats.

I need someone to check I’m sitting or lying comfortably.
I like someone to chat to me and keep me company.
I need someone to help me to eat and drink. I have a risk of choking so need support in managing this risk.
I sometimes need skin cream applied to my body. I also need someone to check for sores and ensure my skin is healthy.
I need someone to change my incontinence pads and to check my Urisheath is fixed properly. These need checked at regular intervals throughout the night.

Person requirements
I am looking for someone who has English as their first language. I am able to communicate by saying a few words and it is very important to me that you are able to understand me. I can understand what people are saying so it is also very important to me that I can understand you also.
I am looking for an easygoing, relaxed and chilled out person who is able to keep me company as well as ensure my needs are met throughout the night.

The post:
You will be required to work 11am-4pm Saturday and Sunday. Rate of pay: £8.82/hour. You may also be required to provide cover for holidays and sickness throughout the weekend. This may include nights.

Closing date: 26th September 2016.
