A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a lady in my 80’s living in the LLanederyn area of Cardiff.

I have dementia and I can sometimes become disturbed or disoriented during the night and need reassuring, with a calm presence to help me feel safe.

I am looking to employ a personal assistant to support me at my own home for covering weekend nights Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

As a PA you will have access to a comfortable, private room to sleep in, but must be available to wake and assist me if I call out and become distressed, or wander.

PURPOSE OF JOB

Supporting me at home working nights to keep me safe and reassure me when I am confused.

PLACE OF WORK

In my home

HOURS OF WORK

 

3 x nights of 9 hours per night, total of 27 hours per week.

I understand that working every weekend is a commitment. My current weekday carer is highly collaborative and happy to offer flexibility, including covering the occasional Saturday night when you need a weekend off.

Flexibility for covering weekday nights due to sickness or annual leave for the other PA would be appreciated too.

 

RATE OF PAY

 

£15.70 per hour

 

TASKS INVOLVED
