PERSONAL ASSISTANT JOB DESCRIPTION

I’m looking for a part-time PA to assist me in my daily life and enable me to live life to the full.

I am a 22 year old with cerebral palsy and a full-time powered wheelchair user, which means I’m fairly independent in terms of getting around, but I need assistance with toileting and personal tasks, meal preparation, and feeding and drinking (both for me and my pet tortoise).

I’m looking for someone to accompany me to appointments – whether it’s the dentist, barber or doctor – and to be up for social trips out involving shopping, the cinema, or going to a gig, as I’m a big music lover.

I have a wheelchair accessible car so the successful applicant needs to have a valid UK driving licence.

I graduated with a degree in Criminology from LSBU last Summer and have recently applied to a part-time law degree course, and I will need some support to further my studies.

Although I’m self-sufficient with tech (computer, phone etc), when it comes to written academic work I’ve found the best (and quickest) technique is for me to dictate and someone else to do the typing.

Therefore I need someone with an appropriate level of education, with good communication skills and computer literacy.

My ideal PA is someone fit and outgoing who can be a companion to me as well as an assistant. The key for me is for you to be reliable, responsible, trustworthy and have a great sense of humour!

A minimum of 12 hours per week with additional flexibility up to 30 hours depending on availability is required.

Days and hours are flexible, though some weekend and evening work may be required. The rate of pay is £15.75.

Due to the requirement to drive the mobility car the PA will need to be over 25

Enhanced DBS check and references are essential for this position.

If you are interested in applying for this post, please reply with your CV and a covering message telling me a little about yourself.

Please note that you will be employed directly by the client and not Islington council.
