Job description

Overview

Casual Personal Care Assistant £13.71/hr in Dudley - Dudley - DY3

Are you a care assistant looking to make a real difference in someone’s life? We have an opportunity for a friendly care assistant to join one of our small, supportive teams in the Wombourne area. This is a varied but really rewarding role where no two days are the same!

Although MDN experience is desirable, the right person for this role will have a general care background and a desire to progress into complex care or someone already working in a similar role. The ideal candidate will be proactive and use their initiative whilst on shift to support the team in this busy role.

A personal message from our client: I’m 69 and have lived in Wombourne my whole life. I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease back in 2019. I live in an adapted bungalow and have a wonderful team of carers that provide me with 24hr care. I also have a supportive family. My 3 children and 3 grandchildren visit me regularly along with my friends and other family members. I’m a kind and friendly lady who despite everything I have been through, tries my best to have a positive attitude towards life.

I require kind-hearted, considerate, pro-active carers who can help to cover shifts, holidays and absence. You will be working 1:1 and also alongside another carer for 1-2hr double ups. We have contracted hours available but also have space for anyone looking for bank shifts.

About Salvere Support: we support individual clients in their own homes. Our small teams of Personal Assistants provide bespoke, person centered care to really make a difference in our clients lives. You’ll only be working with one client which enables you to truly get to know them and make a meaningful difference each day.

What is it like to be a Personal Assistant on the team?

“The biggest difference I found from moving to a PA role from domiciliary care was actually having the time to give exceptional one-on-one care. I no longer feel rushed and I’m able to do my job to the best of my ability.”

In return Salvere Support offers:

• Location Wombourne DY3
• £13.71 PER HOUR
• Various Shift Patterns between 8am-10pm
• Contracted hours 25 hours per week
• Time & a half on Bank Holidays
• Every other weekend off
• Regular and consistent shift patterns
• A DBS paid for by us
• Pension contributions
• PERMANENT AND BANK POSITIONS AVAILABLE

Experience and qualifications

• All aspects of personal care
• Moving and handling including hoisting
• Meal preparation and assistance with feeding
• Medication preparation and administering
• Housework including grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, maintenance and some gardening
• Companionship (including conversations, watching TV, games/hobbies)
• Supporting client to attend outside activities/appointments in a wheelchair

Skills and requirements

• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written)
• Flexibility to cover annual leave and sickness
• Driver preferred; confident to drive an adapted automatic vehicle and use an electric power wheelchair (relevant skills and experience accepted)

Due to the nature of the role your DBS check will need to be completed prior to your start date unless you have a DBS on the update service for the relevant sector (adult enhanced).

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check. You must also have eligibility to work in the UK. We are unable to offer sponsorship.
