Headteacher's Open House:
Our next Open House event will be held on Monday 5 February from 5.00pm - 6.00pm in the Denefield library.
As well as listening and discussing any topics you wish to raise, we will also be sharing results from the feedback you provided in the recent Edurio Parent Survey.
We would really like a great parent/carer representation at this meeting and encourage you to sign up here and let us know of any topics you wish to raise.
See you there!
Local flooding, a message from West Berkshire Council:
Do you have a few hours free per week and would like to work in a paid role as a PA? (Personal Care Assistant)
People who need social care support can source this either through agency carers or through PAs. Reading Borough Council is trying to increase the use of PAs in Reading as this is a really personalised and flexible way of receiving support.
A PA is employed by an individual employer to assist them with their care and support needs; PAs support people with a specific need to live independently and lead their best possible life. It is not a care role in the traditional sense; the role is hugely varied and can include support with:
- preparing meals
- going shopping
- going out and about
- household chores such as washing, cooking and cleaning
- dressing and personal hygiene
- medical appointments and administration of medication
Experience in care is not essential as training will be given. Online learning and classroom training are available.
The pay starts at £12 per hour (£15.24 for self-employed PAs) depending on the role.
Does the Personal Care Assistant role interest you? If you’d like to find out more, please email Reading Borough Council’s friendly PA Team: pa.register@reading.gov.uk
