About the Client
Snap has had the pleasure of recruiting Anna’s fabulous team of PAs for a number of years. Please read below the details Anna has put together about this position.
I am a sociable 23-year-old young woman, living independently in my flat in Crouch End with a team of PAs working 24-hour shifts across the week. I have cerebral palsy and use a high-tech voice output communication aid. I use a wheelchair when I am out and about, and my car is adapted to take my powerchair. I love hand and machine sewing and cooking. I enjoy going to music festivals, art clubs, swimming, skiing/snowboarding and traveling both in the UK and abroad.
The Role at a Glance
I am looking for an additional PA to support me in my own home to enable me to live as independently as possible. My PA will support me with personal care, domestic activities, at my place of work, social activities such as meeting up with friends, and going on days out and trips away. My PA will be confident in facilitating my conversation with others and be a strong advocate. My team of PAs work on a rota basis, provided 4 weeks in advance. I rarely need any physical support during the overnight sleep-in shift.
This Job Would Suit
We will spend a lot of time together, therefore a ‘get up and go’ attitude to arranging and joining in social activities is required, for example, dancing at parties, gigs and festivals or joining in various physical activities such as swimming and cycling. This is far more important than experience. Voluntary or paid experience supporting young people is welcome. Continuity is key for me, and my team, therefore you must be able to commit to this role for a minimum of 1 year.
Why You’ll Love This Role
My team of PAs are a great bunch of women; we have a lot of fun and laughs together. This is an employed PA role, and comes with all the usual benefits, including free meals whilst on shift. If you read this advert and feel that this is the ideal position for you, please apply today!
