About Me: I am a lively, outgoing disabled woman living in Dumpling Hall. I love music and enjoy visiting museums, art galleries, and I am a member of the National Trust. I am a Mum and a Nana but don’t see my family very often as they live outside of Newcastle. Inclusion and holistic support are important to me. I volunteer my time at the local university being on interview panels and as a guest speaker on the Occupational Therapy course. I am looking for somebody with a good sense of humour and good communication skills. I need assistance with some aspects of daily living and personal care. I live in my own bungalow and am accustomed to organising the assistance I need. I am severely visually impaired with mobility difficulties and use a manual wheelchair or a motorised scooter outside of the home.

Purpose of Job: As my Personal Assistant, your job will be to assist me with social activities such as shopping, meeting family and friends, and going to the theatre and local gigs. Your main role will be to support me when out and about and be my sighted guide. My Personal Assistant will work under my direction to meet my needs and will be accountable to me in all aspects of their work. I would prefer my Personal Assistant to be lively and outgoing, friendly, reliable, and able to work flexible hours. They must also respect my privacy and understand the need for confidentiality in all areas of their work. Good general health is important, as well as being physically able to push my wheelchair and load it into their vehicle. For further details, please see the full job description. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be male/female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4.
