Job description

Are you an animal lover who likes to make a difference?

We’re looking for a caring, patient and fun-loving female to join our friendly #TeamKinross team, supporting an amazing young lady to live independently, enjoy her interests and get the most out of everyday life.

A little bit about her

She’s a big animal lover, so if you enjoy spending time around horses, getting outdoors and being around animals, you’ll have plenty in common! She also enjoys walking, gardening, knitting, music, shopping, films and, a good chat and a laugh.

There’s a much-loved cat in the household too, so being comfortable around animals is important.

What will my shifts look like?

Working 11 hours per week will usually be one shift per week, which may include a sleepover. Weekends and public holidays are shared on a rota. Our sleepovers are separate from your contracted hours, so you’ll receive an additional payment of £107.60 for every sleepover you work - giving you the opportunity to earn extra alongside your contracted hours.

This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to make a real difference while doing something meaningful.

You’ll also receive:
