Full job description

Job Reference: 5312
Job Title: Personal Support Assistant
Location: Based from my home in Stowmarket, though this job will involve travelling (mileage reimbursed)
Main Purpose: To physically support a wheelchair user mother of two with day-to-day activities and appointments
Hours and Rate of pay: Up to 10 hours with more hours available, £14.50 per hour

A little about me:

Are you looking for a change, but still in support work? Wanting something a bit different? Well, hello! I am your bit different. I have a fantastic small team/(non genetic) family and there are some shifts that I really need another fantastic support worker to fill to keep the cogs turning and that can fill in the gaps where I am now needing a bit more support than previously, cover holidays, some weekend slots and early evening.

I am looking for a flexible, energetic, up for almost anything Support Worker. I am a professional artist and maker, I work in education supporting Deaf children and adults using BSL. Most importantly I am a busy mum of two amazing, clever fun littler ones. I work hard and want support to enable me to be the best mummy I can be but also to support me as an individual – we like to be out exploring new places at the weekends and school holidays.

I’m just entering a new stage of my life both professionally and as a family. I need the physical support, as well as someone that can read my mind/remember everything that I have forgotten, I need YOU!

I have a positive, independent outlook, and want to do everything now! So if you can support me to stop and breathe. Remind me I’m being too stubborn and that Rome wasn’t built in a day… so “go and rest, I can handle it!”. It’s important you understand the different between care and support – I am the latter. When not racing around I need support to do the less exciting ‘waiting around bit’; happy to support me with daily living: shopping, appointments, housework…

I use a power wheelchair and I am tetraplegic, I need support with moving transfers from wheelchair to bed, floor, sofa and car, I need guidance not actual lifting. (I do not require any personal care, but I need help dressing/undressing and administration of medication). When travelling in your car I use my manual chair that I need to be pushed in – it is lightweight and fits in most 5 door cars.

This is a very varied supporting role, so Please don't let it put you off applying if you don’t meet all the criteria. You need to be a car owner and driver and someone who is happy to travel to multiple locations. Mileage expenses are paid at 55p per mile.
