Vacancy Details

I am a 49 year old man living within the lower Brynamman area of Ammanford. I enjoy watching TV and I am a Liverpool supporter. I would love to visit Liverpool one day to watch a match. I don’t go out within the community at present due to my health needs, I used to be very outgoing however due to my MS which has a significant impact on my day to day life, therefore I have not been as outgoing and able to meet my personal outcomes as independently. I understand support is required due to physical limitations to maintain safety and improve health and wellbeing. My mum is my primary support.

I would require support with keeping safe, personal care, household tasks, maintaining my health and wellbeing physically and emotionally.

Support with showering 3 times per week. Making a light meal and having a chat and cuppa with me. I am hoping this will build my confidence to then have a PA support me within the community.

I am looking for a PA who has the following attributes: 

• Is very understanding and has a good knowledge of mental health issues.
• Someone comfortable working in a family home
• Someone respectful who will help me to be independent.
• Someone supportive who will encourage and motivate me
• Someone with a proactive and mature attitude.
• Someone sensitive and open minded who recognises that some disabilities are hidden.
• Someone discrete and who will respect my confidentiality
• Male preferred due to personal care tasks
• Car driver preferred but not essential
• Will help me to establish a routine
• Encourage me to be independent
• Will make suggestions rather than tell me what to do
• Is trustworthy, reliable and punctual
• Is caring, patient and understanding
• Is friendly and chatty
• Respects my privacy and confidentiality
• Will treat me with dignity and respect
• Can undertake personal care tasks in a discrete and confident manner.

3 hours per week.
