Personal Assistant - Glencaple

Please note that Capability Scotland are not the employer, but acting on behalf of our client, who is the legal employer.

Hi, I'm Georgina, I am 90 years young and live with my wonderful family 5 miles from Dumfries, so you will need a driving licence as there is not a regular bus service. I enjoy being as independent as possible. I have dementia and can be a little forgetful which is why I am needing help with my daily living tasks which include; washing and dressing, breakfast and medication.

The support will be on a week on week off basis with my other Personal Assistant. Ideally I would like someone to come in for two hours in the morning from 7.15 - 9.15 am to help me into my glad rags to go to my clubs as I am an early riser and then for an hour in the evening from 7.00 - 8.00 pm to help me out of my glad rags.

I am looking for someone who has the following qualities: bubbly, reliable, honest and trustworthy, good sense of humour and conversation and above all patience. I would like someone who has at least a year's experience working in Adult Social Care or dementia and some moving and handling training, but if not training can be sourced for the right person.

I enjoy being outdoors and with my family and friends.

If you think this is the role for you then I would love to hear from you.

If you are successful you will need to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK.
