The Role
As a Personal Care Assistant you ll be part of our client s dedicated support team providing essential care in their home and the community. You ll be employed by HomeCareDirect but will focus solely on supporting this client.
Shifts are 12hrs and will either be 8am to 8pm or 8pm or 8am waking nights. We will discuss your preferences to either days or nights at your screening along with how many hours you prefer. Our client is currently in a hospital setting in Southport and you will be required to undertake training and shadowing there initially until she returns home to Bangor. Travel expenses will be paid or we can provide hotel accommodation. This will be discussed in detail during your screening call.
About the Client & Your Responsibilities
Our client is a vibrant 30-year-old lady who requires 24/7 complex care from a dedicated team of Personal Assistants. Support is provided both in the family home and out in the community to help her live life to the fullest. She enjoys getting out for walks going shopping and exploring new experiences. A big fan of pampering she loves getting dressed up having her hair done and relaxing with her favourite Disney films music and her sensory light projector.
This role involves providing full support with personal care including bladder and bowel care. You will also be responsible for administering nutrition hydration and medication via PEG-J as well as supporting oxygen therapy tracheostomy care and ventilation. Moving and handling using a hoist is also part of the daily routine.
Our client is non-verbal and uses various cues to communicate so its important to be observant and responsive to understand her needs and preferences. Her family can offer valuable insights to support this understanding in the beginning. English is her first language.
We re looking for someone who is happy upbeat and brings a positive attitude to the role. Kindness compassion and a gentle approach are essential qualities as building a strong trusting relationship with our client is at the heart of what we do. Previous care experience isn t necessary - what matters most is having the right personality and values.
Full training and shadowing will be provided to ensure you feel confident and supported in your role. While there is a wheelchair-accessible vehicle available for trips out in the community it s not essential for all team members to be drivers.
