Driver Essential

 

We’re looking for a kind and reliable male Personal Assistant to support a lovely 73-year-old gentleman who’s been through a tough time with his health.

He’s recovering from two brain aneurysms and a stroke, which have affected the use of his right hand and leg—he now uses a brace for stability and a wheelchair to get around. Despite these challenges, he remains a proud and quiet man who communicates mostly by pointing.

For now, the position is temporary, but it may become permanent depending on the situation.

The role involves:

• Helping him get up, showered, shaved, and dressed each day
• Supporting with meals and administering medication
• Monitoring his diabetes (checking blood sugar and giving a daily insulin injection)
• Being mindful of any choking risks during meals
• Assisting with mobility and using the toilet
• Accompanying him to the gym on Tuesdays for a short session on the static bike
• Helping him settle down for his afternoon nap
• He likes to be out and about, shopping and passing the time of day

His wife is currently doing her best to manage everything, but she could really use a helping hand. If you’re compassionate, dependable, and comfortable with personal care, this could be a truly rewarding opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life.  A Driver is essential.

We are looking for a kind, reliable and patient Personal Assistant (PA) to support our little boy, during school holidays.

He is 4 years old, autistic, and non-verbal. He communicates through hand-leading and loves nothing more than running, jumping, and having space to explore.

Support would take place either the home or in the local community – for example, going to SEN-friendly sessions or the park. He is in nappies, so some personal care will be required as part of the role.  We are looking for someone with experience working with autistic children, although this is not essential.

A driving licence and access to a car would be ideal. We have 64 hours of funding to be used flexibly during the school holidays, but we’re very happy to be flexible to suit your schedule. A full enhanced DBS is essential for this role.

Please note these vacancies are not employed through South Tyneside Council but through the individual service user.
