Care Assistant for a lady P/T @ £10.42/hr in Stockton-on-tees

Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: e2930987

An opportunity has arisen to provide support to a lady with all aspects of daily living. She is living with MS in the Stockton area

The successful candidate(s) will be reliable and have a positive approach to work.

Experience of using a hoist and familiarity of one person hoisting is desirable but training will be given.

Ideally you will have worked as a Personal Assistant before and be comfortable assisting in all aspects of the job including personal care.

I live with my husband and our very friendly cockapoo. I have had MS for 12 years and am now at the stage of needing hoisting for every transfer. I need help getting up, washed/showered and getting dressed each morning. I have a catheter and the drainage bags will need emptying or replacing. There would be some light domestic duties such as emptying the dishwasher or tumble dryer too.

We have a large Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) which enables me to get out and about. If you have a clean driving licence and are over 25 it will be possible to include you on the insurance. This would allow us to maybe go out for a cuppa, go to the shops/garden centre or take the dog further afield for a walk.

The hours of work are 17.5 per week over 6 days and will be split into:-

2 hours x 3 days

2.5 hours x 3 days so she can have a shower

2 hours x 2days for social interaction



Successful candidates would be subject to an enhanced DBS check, cost to be met by employer
