I’m looking to grow my 21‑year old son’s small team of PAs. He has complex needs and is a gentle, loving soul who thrives on warmth, connection and having people around who truly “get” him. He loves music, sensory lights, trips out, and walks along the seafront.

• Medication prompting/administering
• Personal grooming
• Eating and drinking assistance
• Moving and handling
• Clinical tasks
• Other relevant duties as required

Candidate qualities:

• Respectful of the employer’s privacy and confidentiality
• Reliable with good time‑keeping
• Able to follow instructions and work on own initiative
• Hygienic, tidy and well‑organised
• Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
• Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
• Honest and cheerful
• Creative
• Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
• Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
