I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to support me in my home in the Fenham area of Newcastle (not far from the Morrison’s store). The hours will be over the weekend and the hours can be flexible.  There will be extra hours available to cover holidays and sickness during the week. The job involves a range of tasks including personal care, domestic work around the home and some activity outside the home.

Domestic work

I will need you to do a variety of tasks around the home.  For example, cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and keeping all work surfaces clean and tidy.  You will also need to do my laundry; all the washing/drying and ironing that needs doing.  I may need assistance with meal preparation and getting shopping in from local stores.  Shopping will generally be once per week and I will want a more thorough clean of the house once per week.

Personal Care

I will need help with a range of personal care tasks during every shift, so applicants should not have any qualms about providing personal care.  The morning shifts will be starting around 7.30am to give me time to get up.  It will be vital that applicants can get to my home in good time each morning, so the position may well be suited to someone who lives locally or has their own transport to get to and from work.

Bank Complex Needs Personal Assistant- OCNCL

Bank staff for holidays and sickness cover x 1

Area: Killingworth, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Rate: £15.00 per hour

 

Oakley is a delightful 2-year-old baby boy who was born at 36 weeks gestation. He currently resides with his mum and siblings who all attend school. Due to the complexity of Oakley’s health issues the family are looking for a Personal Assistant with experience in children with complex health needs. Full training in specific duties relating to Oakley’s needs will be provided via Oakley’s mum and hospital staff. Oakley has round-the-clock care, and you would be joining an existing team of personal assistants to ensure Oakley’s needs are always met. Your role would include supporting Oakley’s mum in domestic tasks, laundry duties and assistance in caring for Oakley’s siblings when required.

Following a sleep study Oakley showed oxygen desaturation and pauses in breathing,

Oakley requires BIPAP overnight and for daytime naps.  (Pressure controlled ventilation in a system allowing unrestricted spontaneous breathing at any moment of the ventilatory cycle.)

Oakley has a nasal stent in place which must be replaced immediately if it blocks or dislodges. Oakley is encouraged to feed orally with a weaning diet but due to his cleft palate, frequently regurgitates his food out through his stent, suction must be provided immediately to maintain the patency of the stent and his airway when this occurs. Oakley currently does not take enough feed orally, so a proportion is administered enterally either by pump or gravity.

Oakley desaturates when he is unwell or asleep so is always attached to a pulse oximeter. Oakley’s eye lids do not fully shut so this is the only way to know if Oakley is in a deep sleep. Oakley must be attached immediately to BIPAP when he is asleep to prevent desaturations and maintain his respiratory function. Two people are required to attach Oakley to BIPAP due to his metal work on his head.

Oakley has global developmental delay and has a physiotherapy programme which must be followed to promote his development. As Oakley’s carer/assistant you would be involved in administering this physiotherapy programme to Oakley.

Specialist training will be provided for this role.
