Area: Newcastle

Personal Assistant – ALBNCL

Hours: 4-6 hours per month (day is flexible). Occasionally an opportunity for more hours.

Rate of pay: £14.00 per hour

Location: Fenham (Two Ball Lonnen – West Road end), Newcastle upon Tyne

 

I am turning 70 this year and am totally blind, so I rely on a personal assistant to guide me when I am out and about. My partner and I will be on hand to assist you in how to guide me, until you are fully confident, so the most important thing is that you are willing to learn and feel comfortable around me.

I am looking for someone who can work around 4–6 hours a month on a day that suits both of us, although there may occasionally be extra hours available.

I really enjoy getting out and about. I love a day at the coast, a wander to the local park for an ice cream while listening to the brass band play, and a good rummage around charity shops, so it would be lovely if you enjoy those things too. Some days we might head into town for a bit of shopping, while on other days we may stay at home where you might help me with a bit of cooking or simply enjoy a good natter over a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

You don’t need to be a driver, but you should feel confident using public transport. When guiding me you will need to stay on your toes, but full training will be given so you know exactly what to do.

I also appreciate honesty. If something isn’t quite right, such as my outfit not matching or my hair needing doing, I would like you to tell me. I like to look respectable and won’t take offence.

If you are friendly, reliable, and enjoy getting out and about as well as having a good chat, this could really be a good job for you.

Social Personal Assistant – PHJNCL

Hours: 9 hours (holiday time)

Area: West Denton, Newcastle upon Tyne

Rate: £15.00 per hour

Driver Essential

 

Phoenix is a lovely, affectionate 6-year-old boy who lives with his parents and older brother in the west end of Newcastle. He loves listening to music, is fascinated with numbers and loves to be cuddled. Phoenix likes to be active and being outdoors especially going for long walks. He also likes to spend time in local parks and loves to go trampolining and swimming.

Phoenix has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD which finds him being really frustrated with transitioning from one activity to another. When outdoors he normally has reins as he has no awareness of danger and will run off at any opportunity, therefore the PA would have to be constantly vigilant with him when out and about.

Ideally, mum and dad would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of caring / working with children with Autism or ADHD.

A driver is essential for this role; mileage will be reimbursed.

This post is subject to a satisfactory DBS check and references which will be taken up if you are offered the post.

About Me

My name is Dennis, and I am 50 years old, and I live with my sister, Tracie, who is responsible for my care, and her partner and we have a small dog. I don’t always communicate easily due to my hearing and visual loss and there may be long pauses between questions and sometimes I give an answer that it is out of sync with the question asked, so being a good listener is essential.

My passion is my computer but since I’ve had a stroke I cannot access it anymore so someone with a passion for computers would be ideal. I have limited mobility and require assistance with all transfers using a stand aid and assistance with personal care. I love a cup of tea and need encouragement to stay hydrated and after a few cups I like to have a nap in the afternoon for a couple of hours.

I do love to get out and about so I would require the PA to be physically fit to push my wheelchair.

To be my Personal Assistant you should have some experience of working with disabled adults with visual impairment.

 

There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be male/female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4.
