This is a great opportunity to get started in care work by gaining experience as a PA - particularly if you like the flexibility to plan around other commitments. You will be making a difference to someone's life in a very satisfying career.
As a personal assistant, your role will be to facilitate the day-to-day life of our client. Responsibilities include:
- Assisting our client with personal amenities such as cooking, dressing, washing etc.
- Accompanying client on social outings.
- Assisting client to access his future place of work.
- Facilitating clients travel, potentially abroad.
- Assisting with the care of client's cat.
- Driving client's mobility vehicle.
Having recently graduated University studying Media and Communications, our client is looking to pursue his future career and is weighing up potential master's degrees, as well as looking for work. Our client is in his early 20's and in his spare time, he loves to visit friends, attend festivals, watch films, and travel - he took a trip to Amsterdam last year and plans to venture further in the future. However, he will be unable to fulfil these aspirations until a full care team is in place.
Care experience is not required as full training in our client's particular requirements will be provided.
About You:
- You will need to be physically fit, calm, patient and caring.
- Good organisational skills and being able to work on your own initiative.
- Have a good sense of humour.
- A mature and responsible attitude.
- Excellent hearing and communication skills.
- Fluent in English.
- Be clean and tidy in both your appearance and ways.
- Hold a full, clean, UK driving licence.
Our client employs several Personal Assistants (PAs) to cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week whilst living at home. PAs typically work a number of shifts on a monthly rota.
Each shift is 12 hours, running from either 8am-8pm or 8pm-8am*
- The 8pm-8am shift is a waking night, where the PA is expected to remain awake, should our client require any support during the night.
AskJules understands that life gets busy for everyone, and that availability changes month by month. That's why we always consult with the PAs to check their availability and preferred days off-shift before setting the monthly rota.
It's this flexibility that ensures a reliable, dynamic service to our clients and a good work-life balance for our PAs.
