Job description

Do you love getting out and about and making someone’s day a little brighter? We’re looking for a friendly personal assistant to support an elderly lady with companionship and gentle support so she can keep enjoying life in her local community.

At home she uses a walking frame, and when she’s out, she uses a wheelchair—so you’ll help with safe, steady outings while she remains as independent as possible. She’s warm, chatty, and would really value building a trusting, long-term connection with the right person.

She enjoys being outdoors whenever she can—whether that’s a seat in the sunshine in her garden, a wee stroll, or (when she’s feeling up to it) heading out for a cup of tea and a good chat.

If you’re caring, patient, and reliable—with a positive, flexible approach—we’d love to hear from you.

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

We would ask that you write a small paragraph about yourself which will allow the family to gain a better idea of why you would like to have this post.
