Job description

Personal Assistant/Support GCIL AR/LD/1.26 Location G22

Personal Assistant Required – North Glasgow (G22)

Love music, good conversation and dogs? This could be the role for you.

I'm a friendly woman living in North Glasgow looking for a Personal Assistant to support me to live independently and enjoy everyday life.

A little about me...

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I spent many years working with record labels and have a passion for discovering new artists and sharing favourite tracks. My music taste is wide-ranging, although I must admit country music has never quite won me over.

I also enjoy keeping active through wheelchair exercises, spending time with my dog, I like playing the flute and having a good laugh. Life is far too short to be serious all the time, so a sense of humour is important.

If you enjoy a bit of Glasgow banter and can hold a good conversation over a cuppa, we'll probably get along well.

About the role

As my Personal Assistant, you'll provide support that helps me remain independent and continue doing the things I enjoy.

I'm an intermittent wheelchair user and some days I need a little extra help due to fatigue or dizziness, but I like to keep life positive, relaxed and full of laughter.

Your role will include:

• Supporting me around the home with light household duties
• Accompanying me to hospital appointments when required
• Assisting with personal care and daily living tasks
• Helping care for my small dog, including occasional walks
• Providing practical physical support, including wheelchair transfers and helping lift or move items on days when fatigue or dizziness make things more difficult
• Being a friendly and reliable presence who understands that good support is about teamwork, flexibility and respect

About you

I am looking for someone who is:

• Kind, patient and genuinely caring
• Reliable, trustworthy and easy to get along with
• Comfortable providing physical assistance when required
• A driver with a full clean driving licence
• Relaxed, down-to-earth and able to have a laugh
• Happy to chat about music, life and everyday things
• Confident using their initiative while respecting my choices and independence
• Must be comfortable around dogs

A love of music, interest in live gigs, instruments or the music industry would be a definite bonus, but enthusiasm and the right personality matter most.

Hours and Rate of Pay

• Monday to Friday
• Typical start time 9:30am to 10:00am
• Usually 5-hour shifts, with one flexible 6-hour day each week

Applicants living within a reasonable travelling distance are preferred to support reliability and flexibility.
