Personal Assistant (PA) – Norton Area
Flexible weekday hours – early afternoons/lunchtimes.
We are looking for a friendly and caring Personal Assistant to support a gentleman in Norton. He is easy‑going, enjoys a good chat, and loves sharing memories and discussing topics such as history, travel, and geography. His mood can vary day‑to‑day due to dementia, so a calm, patient and understanding approach is important.
About the Role
The role is varied and centred around offering companionship, encouragement, and practical support. Tasks may include:
- Supporting him to access the community when he feels up to it – including occasional trips to the pub
- Preparing a simple lunch or making a coffee
- Providing company, conversation and gentle engagement
- Being aware of and responsive to changes in his mood
- Assisting with mobility – he walks with a stick and benefits from flatter, accessible routes
- Occasional personal care, such as support with incontinence wear if needed
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Warm, approachable, and able to build a positive connection
- Supportive and reassuring, with a good sense of when to gently encourage
- Comfortable engaging in conversation and taking an interest in his hobbies
- Understanding of the “good days and bad days” that dementia can bring
- Experienced in dementia support or simply someone with the right attitude, patience and empathy
Hours
- Flexible weekday hours
- Early afternoon/lunchtime availability preferred
If you are compassionate, reliable, and enjoy building meaningful connections, we would love to hear from you.
