Personal Assistant

I am the employer and daughter to my mother who has been allocated a direct payment to support her with her mornings routines and personal care. The PA we are seeking would be working on a 2-1 basis to support with lifting .. Additional hours are available and if agreeable by the PA, and can be offered on a week on week basis, including additional hours for any sickness or holiday cover for one of my other PA's in the team. My mother has a diagnosis of Dementia and PPA (Primary progressive aphasia) which affects her language and communication, whereby she is now nonverbal. We are seeking a PA to provide my mother with some personal care, assistance with feeding and preparing her on a morning and assisting me to take her out for lunch and social activates.. The PA would also be required at to offer companionship as well as support with the daily tasks. My mother enjoys the company of others and has a good sense of humour. She has limited communication but can guide those around her to communicate what she wants or needs. The support will also grant me a break from my caring role when the the support is provided by my PA's and an opportunity for my mother to build and extend her support network with someone other than a family member. We are seeking someone to assist and support in my mother with the following tasks:  Assist with feeding, Assist with toileting and dressing, Providing companionship, General household duties (tidying from meal times etc.) My mothers’ needs may vary from day to day and your tasks may reflect this. You could be required to perform other duties as reasonably required.
