Purpose of Job 

The purpose of this role is to support my 27-year-old son. My son is an upbeat and sociable young man who enjoys being around people whether this is direct interaction (he enjoys having his arms or head gently tickled and likes to return the favour and loves it when people chat with him) or simply people watching. He likes being out and about (health permitting) and enjoys the cinema, going to the beach and is always interested in what is going on around him. He has a mischievous sense of humour and likes to tease people when he is in a playful mood. In the house he loves sensory toys, musical toys, CBeebies and company. 

My son needs his Personal Assistants to be patient, calm and attentive but silly with it, a bit of silliness will always raise a smile, he communicates by pointing with his hands and with his eyes, you will be left in no doubt if he wants you to leave him alone! He will also vocalise, it is very important that you take the time to learn his methods of communication so you can understand him. You also need to always remember that he can understand more than he can communicate so you need to be mindful of what is discussed in front of him.  My son must not be exposed to shouting or raised voices, especially in his home, as this will distress him. If you are providing overnight support and go into his room through night, even if he is awake your presence will startle him, and he will need you to spend time with him once you have met his needs 

My son does have very complex health needs, which include epilepsy, a severe learning disability, a free draining peg, a supra pubic catheter, a condition that means he is not able to control his own body temperature, and he cannot move independently. This means that, as his Personal Assistant, there will be several procedures that you will be trained in to be able to provide the necessary support for my son. He is reliant on TPN feeding. TPN training will be taught once you are fully experienced with all other aspects of my son’s care. This role will involve supporting my son in the home overnight without supervision. 

As my son’s Personal Assistant, you will work under my direction to meet his needs and will be accountable to me in all aspects of your work.  You must be reliable, be able to use your initiative and be able to work outside the 9-to-5 day.  You must also be able to respect our privacy and understand the need for confidentiality in all areas of your work.  

As my son’s Personal Assistant, you must be able to handle the physical skills of hoisting, pushing and bending. You do not need prior experience; however, you must be willing and able to learn these skills. 

Driver essential for this role and you must be experienced in driving wheelchair adapted large vehicles.
