Job description

Personal Assistant/Support GCIL-BH-LD-LJ.1.26

Art, Laughter, Music & Adventure - Could You Be My Next PA?

Hi, I'm Bernie.

I'm a determined, independent and creative 31-year-old woman with a good sense of humour and a positive outlook on life. I live with my fiancé and enjoy spending time with friends and family, listening to music, keeping up with social media, and getting involved in creative projects.

I'm a keen artist and create detailed collage artwork using rolled tissue paper. I also love technology and enjoy designing personalised birthday cards on my iMac. Another passion of mine is adapted cycling, and I would love support to get back to some of the activities I've enjoyed in the past.

What would we do together?

I'm looking for a Female Personal Assistant to support me to get out and about, build my confidence, and enjoy the things that matter to me.

This could include:

• Meeting friends and family
• Going to concerts, comedy shows and theatre performances
• Supporting me with my hobbies and interests
• Assisting with cooking and everyday tasks
• No two days will be exactly the same.

About the Role

I have Cerebral Palsy and use a powered wheelchair when out and about. I communicate independently and also use an AAC communication device when needed.

My condition affects me physically, not mentally, and maintaining my independence is very important to me. I'm looking for someone who will support me in a person-centred way and allow me the time and opportunity to communicate for myself.

Support may include assisting with accessibility, shopping, transport, carrying items, cooking, and everyday practical tasks both at home and in the community.

Who I'm Looking For

Ideally, you'll be:

• Reliable and punctual
• Patient and understanding
• Open-minded and motivated
• Friendly with a positive attitude
• A good communicator

Hours, location and rate of pay:

Glasgow City Centre (G3)

Some flexibility may occasionally be required to support me to attend evening activities and events.

Interested?

If you're looking for a rewarding role supporting someone to live independently and enjoy life to the fullest, I'd love to hear from you.
