I am looking for Personal Assistants who are friendly and approachable with a good sense of humour. They must be able to give me the space I need to continue developing but also guide me. Someone who is lively and fun, who loves music, singing and reading stories to others. A reliable, punctual and honest individual.
It is essential that the postholder have experience of supporting people with autism or learning difficulties including being able to support with emotional dysregulation. An interest in alternative therapies would also be beneficial. As a Personal Assistant is required to work one to one, it is important that the employer and employee maintain an open and honest relationship.
An important part of the job is supporting me with my diet. Full training in this will be provided.
After you have spent significant time getting to know me, you will have the option to learn about my enzyme therapy. Please note that you will already be able to calculate percentages confidently using a calculator to be able to carry out the enzyme therapy.
The rate of pay starts at £13 per hour and will rise to £15 per hour for workers who demonstrate competence with enzyme therapy.
It is possible to carry out the post without carrying out enzyme therapy, although pay will reflect this.
Working hours are 9 hour shifts. There is the possibility of extra hours some evenings and cover for respite including overnight. Day or days to be agreed. I live on the 44 bus route (EH8).
There are a total of six nine hour shifts to be filled per week. Looking for up to three personal assistants to fill those shifts. Applications from people looking to do only one nine hour shift per week welcome.
Please state in your application how many shifts you are hoping to do.
