Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 65fcbb78
My name is Catherine, I am a partially disabled female artist, living in the Totterdown area of Bristol and am an independent person with a good sense of humour and although I’m 52, I have a much younger outlook. When I am able, I like to go to the cinema, get out in nature, gardening, travel and visit exhibitions. I am a non-smoker, and have two rescue cats called Marshmallow and Tinkerbell.
I mainly get about using a stick, but sometimes need to use a wheelchair. I need support with domestic tasks, food shopping, laundry, food prep, driving to appointments, gardening and physio exercises. Sometimes you will be required to help with taking my pottery to a studio in Barton Hill and once a week I borrow a little dog called Luna for an hour to go to a local park.No personal care required but sometimes I need support / encouragement to carry out tasks and need admin and advocacy support with things like; phone calls / emails / making doctors appointments etc so that I can live as independent a life as possible.The ideal candidate would be energetic, a good communicator, friendly, adaptable and intuitive with good memory recall. They should also be able to carry out tasks with attention to detail, take direction well but also be able to make independent decisions when needed. Multitasking and time management is part of the job along with having a positive attitude and ability to adapt to new tasks if they arise.Access to a car that is air zone compliant is essential and a non-smoker is preferable. A DBS check will be required but if you don’t have one this can be arranged via WECIL.
Short listed applicants may be required to do a short trial shift (£12.21 per hour) and if successful will do a month probationary period with pay rising to £12.60 per hour on completion of successful probation.The 25 hours would be worked over three shifts a week (ideally Monday, Wednesday and Friday) but I can be flexible but Wednesday is a key day as I have some commitments and appointments. I would prefer one care assistant ideally that could do the 25 hours but would consider splitting the shifts between two applicants if necessary. Please state in your application what days you would be able to work. No weekends required. Can be flexible about times of day worked to fit in with your schedule.Training will be given.
