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.”

I am a man who lives in the New Abbey area. I am looking for a personal assistant to support me for 2 hours in the evenings. This will include meal preparation, medication checks, light housework and social support. I do have another personal assistant who works Tuesdays and Thursdays so looking for someone to cover the rest of the week. Hours can be discussed at interview.

My interests include watching movies and I enjoy chatting to people. I enjoy photography and taking pictures of buildings and animals in the local area. I have a pet parrot so ideally, I need someone who likes animals.

I am looking for someone who is patient and has a good sense of humour. I would also need my PA to be a good communicator, reliable and trustworthy. I would also like someone to have experience of working with someone who has a brain injury and mental health needs. This would be advantageous but not essential. Training can be provided for the right candidate.

The rate of pay is £12.60 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. This post is subject to a satisfactory PVG check.
