We are looking for a Personal Assistant to support an outgoing, enthusiastic 34‑year‑old man with cerebral palsy to enjoy an active and fulfilling life in the Dunfermline area.

Our client has a wide range of interests, with one of his biggest passions being remote‑controlled stock car racing. He also loves attending stock car racing events across Fife, including venues in Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath and Knockhill. The right person will enjoy supporting him to attend these events.

When he’s not racing or at events, he enjoys getting out into his local community—whether that’s bowling, visiting the cinema, or taking day trips to Edinburgh.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being active, sociable, and part of experiences that bring excitement and enjoyment to someone’s day. As you will support him out and about, a driving licence is essential. Some personal care may be required and his family will be on had to guide you through his specific needs.

Applicants should bring a caring nature, patience, a good sense of humour, and a reliable, flexible approach. Experience is helpful but not essential.

This role requires an enhanced PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) check.
