Personal Assistant

(Please note this role is being advertised on my behalf by Capability Scotland, but I will be the legal employer) 

 I am looking for a patient and kind person to support me as a personal assistant.  

I am a 50 year-old woman who has higher function autism that was diagnosed later in life. I live with my two spaniels.  

Experience with autism an advantage but not essential. It is more important that I recruit someone who is right for me. The key values that I am looking for in a personal assistant are: 

• Patient  
• Friendly 
• Reliable 
• Honest and trustworthy  

If you feel that this role is for you and that you can help to get my confidence back then I want to hear from you.  

The support I require will include:  

• Helping to prepare a healthy balanced diet 
• Washing my hair 
• Showering  

I am into arts and crafts, lego and watching crime drama and comedy programmes. I also like to get outdoors if the weather is nice.  

I am looking for support on Monday and Thursday 1.00pm - 3.00pm and Tuesday 10.30am - 12.30pm but can be flexible with the time 

Having the support of a PA will help me to live my life how I wish.
