Job description

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

Hello, my name is Elaine. I am a young 70-year-old lady living in Mouswald. I live with my two amazing daughters who have supported me for a long time, but now I would like to give them some well-deserved rest. I enjoy watching TV programs, painting, and going on small walks. Due to my health conditions, I use a small stick for support as I have arthritis in both hips. I am seeking a personal assistant to support me in getting ready in the mornings and evenings, including personal care and helping me prepare for bed. I am looking for someone caring and patient, as I have mixed dementia and Alzheimer’s. Sometimes I may get frustrated or upset. Experience with these conditions would be beneficial but is not essential.

1. Monday – Saturday: mornings around 9 am, 30 minutes for 4 days, and 45 minutes on shower days.
2. Monday - Friday: evenings around 7 pm, 30 minutes to get ready for bed.
3. Additional hours may be available in the future.
4. Access to your own vehicle is required due to my location.
5. Hourly rate: £12/hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks (pro rata).
