Full job description

FOREIGN NATIONALS - Under UK law, because this position is in a private household, unfortunately I cannot sponsor a visa.

I am a 45yo disabled man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I employ a team of PAs to support me 24/7 living independently at home, and going out and about professionally and socially. I am currently looking for a Personal Care Assistant to join my team.

I am currently looking for someone to work 24-26 hours per week, 2 waking nights per week and occasional evenings. You must be willing to do alternate weekends. There will also be overtime if you want it.

Shifts are 10pm-9am. It is essential that you do not sleep on shift and this is closely monitored to ensure my safety, so only apply if you are confident you can stay awake.

Pay is £15.50 per hour. Where shifts are understaffed you will get extra pay, and there is an opportunity to earn extra money on trips away.

You must be completely fluent in English so you can understand me and be able to provide a reference from a UK employer.

I'm looking for someone to start as soon as possible but am happy to wait for the right person if they need to give notice to another employer.

About me

I have severe muscle weakness in all areas which restricts all movement, requiring the use of a ventilator and electric wheelchair. I require assistance with all aspects of personal care, getting out socially and at-work support, full training is given. You must be OK with cats (I have two), and be comfortable supporting me as a gay man. I enjoy travelling, going out with friends and drinking cocktails and love to have fun. During the day I'm either working from home or at the office.

What I'm looking for

As this role involves personal care, it is most important for me to find someone who I can build a rapport with. The ideal candidate for this role will be punctual, reliable, trustworthy, caring and understanding. But it's not all hard grind, we have fun and there's an opportunity to build a lasting connection and friendship.

You will be able to recognise the responsibility of your role in maintaining my well-being without becoming overwhelmed by it. The job will feel intense at first but once you learn the job it becomes much easier. You will be given extensive training, but it is important that you can be comfortable with the responsibility of supporting someone on life support.

My PAs are a vital part of my life. For me, the most important qualifications are your own personal qualities. If you have care experience that's a bonus, but no experience is required and full training will be given.

Job details

There will be busy periods, for example getting me up in the morning and putting me to bed. During the night there will be lots of quiet time when you will need to keep yourself occupied (you're welcome to use phones/laptops/tablets or study during that time).

Interviews will be carried out over video messaging - I can use zoom, Skype, FaceTime and most other platforms, whatever you prefer. If the interview is successful I will invite you to my flat for a practical trial.

Pay is £15.50 per hour. You will be entitled to holiday pay and will be issued with an employment contract. There's an opportunity to earn additional pay of £1000-£2000 about twice a year if supporting me on holidays. All applicants must be willing to undertake an Enhanced DBS check and provide references.

I aim to be a respectful, understanding and supportive employer, because I know that happy staff provide better care. I also personally invest hours of training in each new PA and want to see them succeed. This is NOT a generic job with an employer that doesn't care.

MAIN DUTIES: This is an overview of all the assistance I require, your specific duties will depend on the shifts you have agreed to. Training will be provided for all duties.

Supporting me to go out socially
Managing my ventilator and ensuring it is connected and functionally correctly at all times
Monitoring my health and wellbeing throughout the shift
Getting me washed, dressed and ready in the morning
Getting me undressed and ready for bed in the evenings

Support me with pet care for my cats – including feeding, cleaning litter trays and other pet care tasks
Assistance with turning, repositioning, toileting & monitoring of ventilation.
Sleeping will not be permitted on night shifts.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS:

Good observational skills
Ability to take instruction and listen carefully
Punctual, reliable and trustworthy
Good verbal communication skills
Not squeamish about personal care
No experience necessary but welcome
