Personal Assistant - Eaglesfield

I am a 71-year-old individual seeking two Personal Assistants to support me at home with daily living tasks. Support will include personal care (washing, dressing, showering), catheter care, meal preparation and medication assistance.

Due to limited mobility and right-sided weakness following a stroke, I require two personal assistants in the morning and evening routines, and one personal assistant at lunchtime and teatime. Specific hours will be discussed during the interview.

Ideal candidates will be caring, compassionate, reliable and flexible. A good sense of humour and strong communication skills are important as I enjoy conversation and spending time outdoors. Moving and assistance training is desirable but not essential as training can be arranged for the right person. A driving licence is preferred but not required.

Females only need apply as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

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

You will be asked to provide the names of two referees.

You will need to be a member of Protecting Vulnerable Group (PVG) scheme. If you are not already a member, I can advise you how to apply.

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

If you would like to find out more, or for help with applying then please contact Anne at Capability Scotland on 07395794168 quoting reference ASAM0925
