CDP2506 Personal Assistant to Adult

Due to my sight issues I need help guiding me around with my daily activities in the garden project at Vision 21, Fairwater, Cardiff.

PLACE OF WORK

I will either need collecting by car from my house and taken back after I finish work ( full driving licence, correct insurance and own vehicle is essential)

Or

I will meet my personal assistant at Vision 21

HOURS OF WORK

I have 6 hours a week of support work agreed, I volunteer on a Monday 9am - 3pm at Vision 21.

There are at least 4 Bank Holiday Mondays in the year when Sbectrwm close, and Sbectrwm is closed for approximately 8-10 days over the Christmas period, I would request that at least 4 days of your holiday entitlement is taken over these closure days.

The remainder of entitlement can be decided between ourselves provided the correct notice is given, Though a part-time job, this is a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A probation period will be necessary in the first instance. Wages will be paid 4 weekly. You will receive 5.6 weeks paid holiday (pro rata). The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS check, which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer

Reliable and punctual

Friendly /Chatty/ Good sense of humour

Have common sense and initiative and does not use foul language.

Enjoy being outdoors in the garden

I am male in my early 70s and live near Victoria Park Cardiff, I am registered as severely sight impaired, I have no sight at all in my left eye, and only partial sight in my right eye.

I have some cognitive impairment and my memory is not as good as it was, occasionally, due to these issues I sometimes get frustrated with myself and have a bit of a rant.

I used to enjoy watching Snooker and Darts on the TV, but I don't watch it as much now since my eyesight deteriorated.

I do though still enjoy watching/listening to the game shows on TV.
