Total hours: 30 hours per week
22.5 hours at £14.57 per hour
7.5 hours at £12.82 per hour
Location: Newport (support provided in the employer’s home and within the community), including travel support to and from The Phoenix Project.
About the Role
We are seeking a female Personal Assistant to provide friendly, patient, and reliable support to a 50-year-old woman with learning disabilities who lives at home with her mother. She currently receives family support and is now looking to expand her support network.
The role involves assisting with:
Travel to and from The Phoenix Project
Community activities, including shopping and local outings
Encouraging independence through gentle prompts and guidance
Supporting structured activities on Mondays and Tuesdays
About the Individual
She has limited verbal communication and uses gestures and familiar cues to express herself, while fully understanding spoken communication. She enjoys:
Listening to music
Looking through photographs
Watching TV occasionally
She benefits from consistent routines and calm, reassuring support. While she is encouraged to be as independent as possible, she will always require supervision due to limited awareness of risk. Clear boundaries and a confident approach are essential, particularly when providing travel support, where vehicle doors must be locked and distractions kept to a minimum for safety.
Occasionally, when feeling anxious, she may display distressed behaviours such as grabbing or hair pulling; however, these incidents have significantly reduced over time. Full guidance and support will be provided.
Experience is beneficial but not essential – the right attitude and approach are what matter most.
