I am James and I live in Southerness. I am a man in his 80s and recently had a stroke. I am looking for a personal Assistant for 8.75 hours a week. I need someone to come for 45 minutes in the morning about 11am. During which you would assist me with getting up, emptying the commode, helping with a shower or wash, and preparing my breakfast. Later in the day at about 6pm I need someone to come in for half an hour to give me my dinner and assisted me to bed if I want to go. I am willing to be flexible with timings or someone to take some of the shifts if not able to do all of them.

During the day I enjoy watching quiz shows on TV and reading my newspaper. I like to play games like domino and will go out to play bingo. I like to go out on my mobility scooter to people watch or socialise in the local pub. I have 2 dogs who follow me everywhere so need someone who likes dogs. I would prefer someone with past care experience however not essential.

Due to my location, I need someone who is local or has a driving license. The rate of pay would be £12.60 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. A suitable PVG is required.
