Personal Assistant

“Please note Capability Scotland isn’t the employer we are only acting on behalf of our client. The client will be the employer.”

I am a young boy in Dumfries and I lives with my dad. I am looking to recruit a personal assistant to provide respite for my dad. I have been diagnosed with autism and I am non-verbal, I do use a AAC system to communicate. I am looking for someone to cover 9 hours per week during term time, these hours will be one day after school and one day at the weekend. During the holidays it will be 12 hours per week and will be flexible to fit my needs.

I am looking for a PA who is reliable, trustworthy and patient. I need someone who has experience of working with children with autism.

The support I require is personal care and providing care within the home. This will include putting on activities within the home. I have a short attention span so need activities that only last a short amount of time. I enjoy water play, making videos on my iPad, playing in the garden, baking, arts and craft.

The rate of pay would be £12.60 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. A suitable PVG is required
