Personal Assistant

This is an external vacancy and is not employment with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

A lady in her early 40s with diabetes and fibromyalgia requires a Personal Assistant to support her with everyday tasks. The lady suffered a spinal cord stroke some time ago and struggles with all her daily living needs. Mobility is very poor, and she has large bouts of fatigue constantly coupled with constant pain. The lady has an 11-year-old child, so requires someone to form good relationships with her and the child.

Duties will include :

• Support with meal preparations
• Light housework
• Support with personal care and showering at times
• May require support with shopping (could mean putting food away after delivery)

Due to the number of small calls per day, this position would suit someone local to the lady.

The candidate must be reliable and trustworthy and able to form good relationships due to the nature of the role.

A genuine occupational requirement for a female worker exists for this post under the Equality Act 2010 due to privacy and decency.
