Job Overview
Mosaic 1898 Direct Payments Support Service is supporting someone to find the right Personal Assistant (PA) to work with him for5 - 7.5 hours per week – flexibility with weekends and evenings is essential.
Pay: £15.20
About the Role:
We are looking for someone who can offer practical support, companionship, and encouragement to help broaden his social life, meet new people, and build meaningful connections and relationships.
He is an academic with a wide range of interests, including current affairs, films and music, and enjoys thoughtful, interesting and intellectually stimulating conversation. He would like to get out more, discover new activities and places, meet people who share his interests and develop new friendships.
He would also like to explore opportunities for dating and developing a meaningful relationship.
Your role will be to work alongside him to make these things possible. This could include researching interesting events and activities together, visiting new places, meeting new people, trying different social opportunities, and exploring appropriate ways to meet potential partners.
Sometimes unfamiliar places and social situations can present barriers. A good PA will work with him to identify those barriers and find practical ways around them, rather than assuming that he needs to change.
There may also be times when it is helpful to talk through social situations together, including communication, relationships, boundaries and personal safety. This should always be approached respectfully and without judgement,
recognising that communication is a two-way process and that people communicate, interact and experience the world in different ways.
This role is not about teaching someone how to behave, changing who he is or expecting him to conform to particular social norms. It is about providing the right support, removing barriers and creating opportunities so that he can
make his own choices and have greater control over his friendships, relationships and social life.
There is no personal care or household cleaning involved.
You may occasionally be asked to provide cover when his other PA is on annual leave or unwell. His other PA may similarly provide cover when you are unavailable, so some communication between you will be needed to coordinate support.
Skills and Qualifications required
Previous experience as a PA is not essential. Finding someone with the right values, personality and approach is much more important.
You will need a full UK drivers license as the role may involve driving the persons car.
You should be:
Friendly, approachable and able to build a positive and respectful working relationship.
A good listener who enjoys interesting conversation.
Patient, open-minded and non-judgmental.
Respectful of individual choice, difference and different ways of communicating.
Proactive and willing to suggest ideas, research opportunities and try new things.
Comfortable talking naturally and respectfully about friendships, dating and relationships.
Reliable and able to use your own initiative.
Ideally trauma-informed and with an understanding of non-visible disabilities.
Able to maintain confidentiality and appropriate professional boundaries.
Comfortable around cats.
Flexible about working hours.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who will take the time to get to know him as an individual – his interests, aspirations, preferences and communication style – and work alongside him rather than making assumptions about what support he needs.
