FULL PROFILE

About me

Hi, I am a 41-year-old, happily married with 2 Young Boys ages 10 and 13. I suffered a spinal cord injury back in 2015 and I'm now C5/ C6 tetraplegic. I'm now paralyzed from the chest down and have limited hand function, but don't let my disability define me.

I work part-time 20 hours a week currently from home subject to COVID-19, tending to do 4 hours a day from home 10-2 pm. While I’m working PAs tend to light housework, the family's laundry, tidying and take a break. A great setup here where a double up, domiciliary carer helps 3 times a week with the main housework & ironing and covers the PA's break.

After work I enjoy collecting the children from school, taking them to after school activities or to the park etc and sometimes socializing with friends or family.

What am I looking for?

• I need someone proactive, self-organized, punctual, hard-working, hygienic and thorough.

• Sociable, friendly and approachable.

• Comfortable and relaxed around children.

• Must be a confident and competent driver with at least 1 year of driving experience.

• Non-smoker.

• Communication is key in this role and therefore a high level of English both speaking and understanding is essential.

Brief Daily Duties

• Morning and evening routines including bowel Management, dressing, showering.

• Cleaning and tidying of my bedroom and bathroom after routine.

• Light housework, laundry, hoovering, mopping floor etc.

• Come with me to collect children from school.

• Driving me to errands, appointments and school.

• Preparing and Cooking meals with me.

I have a great system set up here whereby my needs care wise and the PAs work and break needs are both met and treated fairly. Flexibility is key and appreciated as some days, breaks are split into shorter more frequent slots and other days are in much larger time periods dependent on the day's activities.

I am a bubbly; chatty person and I can confidently communicate my care needs. I will patiently teach PAs how I like my care to be, and I need a PA to listen intently and follow my instructions. I do not need or like a PA to take over or take control.

I live life to the full, regardless of disability and don’t let it define me. I need & appreciate the support of a good PA to assist me to do this, so it is very important to me that I attract a great PA to comfortably integrate into our lives.

If you’re interested, please contact me and send me a brief cover note about yourself and why you are suitable for this position? Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Carly
