Job description

Are you a quizzer and love watching quiz shows? Do you like a good word search to free the mind?

I can help you with both. I love quiz shows and doing word searches.

I am a young 92-year-old lady who lives at home in the DG2 area of Dumfries. My brain works fine but alas my body not as much. I feel it's time to get a little help. I am looking to employ a personal assistant to support me with my personal care, getting me ready for the day ahead, and ready for bed in the evening. I take medication, I will need to be supervised taking this daily. I will need support at mealtimes. I need you to be a caring and patient person to meet my needs. I am looking for 2 visits per day, although this can be discussed at the interview. If you have experience in adult social care this is certainly an advantage.

I would feel more comfortable with a female personal assistant. I am looking for someone who can support me 14 hours per week and I will pay you £12 per hour.

Membership of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme is essential for taking up this appointment.
