IBK are supporting a family to recruit a PA for their teenage year daughter who has a Spinal Muscular Atrophy 1‑2, which severely affects her muscle development. The creative young lady loves dressing up and painting her nails and getting out and about whether this to town or the cinema.

With a combination of clinical nursing and PA support, the role of the PA would be focused on meeting the young girl’s social needs and some practical support involving moving, handling and having an NG tube. The role would be shared between 2 PA’s with training provided by her parents, nursing team and the other PA who is already employed by the family.

Essential personality traits and skills

• Be friendly and reliable
• Maintaining confidentiality
• Being respectful in the family home
• Experience with working with complex care needs
• Be creative and confident with a fun and professional approach
• Willingness to learn from the girl’s parents, current PA’s and nursing team
• Have a genuine desire to positively enhance the young person's life

Ideally the hours would be used at the weekend to enable the young person to go out and do something fun but after school visits would also be considered.
