Description:

My names is Rhys Bowler I'm a motivational speaker from Pontypridd. I'm 32 and I suffer from a life threatening muscle wasting condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). I have lost the use of my entire body I am confined to a wheelchair and permanently bound to a ventilator. I only have the use of my thumb which I drive my chair with. I live in a flat on my own independently with the use of carers, I have as close to 24 hour care as possible. In 2017 I lost my brother he was a fellow sufferers, he sadly died at 27 from DMD, my entire world fell apart he was my rock and support network my version of a wife and kids. It broke my heart. It's taken me 2 years but I've started motivational speaking in his honour.

I need position filled very urgently! ASAP! As it is for one my main PA position which is the large bulk of my hours, and is an integral part of my care plan without it cannot function! I'm looking for PA who is extremely reliable and general work horse!
I'm looking for someone to work every Monday and Tuesday through the day every week! And alternate Saturday day and night sit! And Sunday day (this is most important). It will a total of 32.5 day hours a fortnight at £10.00 hourly rate, night sits are a block rate of .£114.75(works out at £8.50 for 13.5 hours) 09:00PM to 10:30AM for Saturday night You will be earning including nights a total of £439.75 a fortnight.

Monday is a split shift at 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. You'll be required to get me up and dressed. Come back around 2 o'clock for 2.5 hours to help me eat my lunch and then shower me this is very important call and is essential as I am only able to have 2 showers a week. return back in the evening to prepare me some food or to assist me to the toilet if needed. Times are flexible with the exception of morning call.
Tuesday you'll be required to get me washed and dressed once again 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Then take me out for the afternoon for 5.5 hours. Finish at 5pm.
Saturday is also a split shift, the morning routine 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Come over then around 3 PM and assist with lunch, toilet and usually stay until 09:00PM till 10:30AM. I usually like to go out for the evening. (Times are negotiable)
Sunday 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Assist me to get up before you go home. Come over then around 03:00PM till 7:30PM and assist with lunch, toilet and maybe go out for the afternoon.

Hours with likely increase depending on where I need to be. I would prefer someone who is or would go self-employed. "Must be able to drive and have a full drivers licenses as you'll be required to take me out and about." I'm looking for someone very reliable whom I can depend on. Should open minded friendly and easy going someone with plenty of energy with positive attitude I need you to be extremely flexible and above all reliable. Ideally I am looking for someone quite spontaneous and is free majority of the time who doesn't have any ties as such. As I am planning quite a few trips this year to clear the lockdown blues LOL
Tasks would normally include driving taking me out on day trips or evenings to cinema socializing and occasionally going away to music festivals and also taking me to band practice (as I'm a pure metal head lol) generally living me life, making tea ( I enjoy a nice cuppa tea like 10 a day lol), preparing meals. Also completing general personal care tasks (i.e. toileting showering and shaving me, making me look pretty). No qualifications needed as full training given by me.
