Job description

I am a lady living at home in the Traquair area. I need some flexible support at home as I have numerous ailments including chronic pain, which drain my energy levels and mean I am unable to perform certain tasks for myself. I have been awarded 6 hours per week, 5 hours to be worked with me, with one hour per week to be used for travel time to and from my house. I can be flexible with days and times though.

On shower days I will need supervision to ensure my safety but can manage the task independently. I also need a bit of support with preparing my meals - if you are able to batch cook, that would be super.

Ideally someone with a kind, genuinely caring nature who is honest, reliable and trustworthy. I have one cat so someone with allergies to pets would not be a good fit.

I am offering £14.50 per hour with paid travel time, as above. You are also entitled to 5.6 weeks annual leave, calculated on a pro-rata basis.
