Job Profile
Mosaic 1898 Direct Payments Support Service are assisting a woman with Alzheimer’s to recruit a female PA with experience of dementia care, who is friendly, patient, and a dog-lover.
The lady would like to remain engaged with family and friends in as meaningful a manner as possible and to continue to enjoy the company of friendly faces.
You will provide both physical and emotional support to the lady within her home, as well as accompany her on short walks outside. Morning visits will focus on helping her prepare for the day, while evening visits will support her with her bedtime routine. The role will also include light domestic tasks such as tidying, wiping down work surfaces, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment.
The position is for 15 hours and 45 minutes per week, consisting of 4 visits per day (except on Thursdays when there is no noon visit).
The times you would be required are:
8-8.45am, 12 noon – 12.30, 4-4.30pm, and 8.30 – 9pm.
Person Specification
A caring and patient approach is essential, you will be reliable and trustworthy, and able to accept responsibility and use initiative where necessary.
You will be comfortable to work on your own (and as part of team?) including the lady’s husband who works outside the home during the day.
You will have experience of caring for someone with dementia, and you must be a dog lover as the lady has 2 dogs.
You must be able to communicate effectively, and understanding and empathy are vital to this PA role.
Time management is essential as routine is very important, especially regarding medication and feeding. The PA would be expected to arrive to shift on time and if there is a delay, the individual or family members are to be notified as soon as possible.
