Disability Assistant (sorting boxes)

Job Summary:

I am seeking help to continue sorting through a large accumulation of unwanted/not needed stuff. I am severely disabled with major medical issues so unable to do this by myself. This has been underway for some time but is a slow process due to my limitations, even with help, and those helping me have now got other commitments. Therefore I need to find 1 or 2 people to take over those shifts.

Shifts:

• Flexible 4hrs. Currently we do 2 afternoons a week at 2hrs each (1pm- 3pm). Some weeks we have done the 4hr in one shift. Exactly how this will look will depend on who the right people are and what works for everyone. The length of job is dependent on how long it takes to complete the project.

• This job is very dependent on my state of health on the day of each planned shift. I cannot guarantee I will be able to do anything & therefore cannot guarantee each shift will take place. I can pretty much guarantee they won’t. Therefore, this is not suitable for someone who is reliant on the hours.

Duties:

• Moving boxes, some heavy, as is needed to enable unpacking, sorting and repacking as required.

• Assisting with removal of items not being kept. This is likely to include taking to charity, recycling different materials and helping whoever has the job of selling items.

• Supporting in whatever way required to achieve the purpose. This may involve tasks not currently thought of.

Qualifications/Experience:

• No experience required.

• Honesty, Flexibility, Sense of Humour & ability/willingness to listen and do things my way(!) are required.

• Swearing (other than occasional slips) and especially blasphemy will not be appreciated so please do not apply if you are unable to control your use of such language. Thank you.

• Female applicants preferred. Male applicants must be DBS checked.

• Please ONLY apply if you are serious about the application. I do not have the spare time/energy to interview anyone applying to fill a quota or other nongenuine reason.

• The job does NOT provide for overseas applicant sponsorship. Please do not waste time by asking.
