Personal Assistant/Support Female GCIL-KI-IW-LJ-1.26 Location G42
A Little Disney Magic and a Lot of Personality – Female Personal Assistant Required G42 area
Meet Kay
Kay is a fun-loving, bubbly young person with a huge personality and a heart full of warmth. She loves singing, dancing, Disney films, princesses and being the centre of attention. Whether she's chatting away, sharing a laugh or giving out one of her famous hugs, Kay brings energy and joy to those around her.
Creative, expressive and full of imagination, Kay enjoys Disney films, music and trips to the cinema. She has a real flair for drama and isn't afraid to let her personality shine, bringing a little bit of diva sparkle wherever she goes.
While Kay enjoys spending time with others and being involved in the world around her, she also values her quiet moments. When her social battery is running low, you'll often find her relaxing with her headphones on, watching her favourite programmes or enjoying time in her own imaginative world.
About the Role
We are looking for a Personal Assistant to support Kay to enjoy activities she loves while building her confidence and independence.
Support could include:
• Going to the cinema, theatre, swimming or community activities
• Encouraging physical activity and healthy routines
• Supporting communication and social interactions
• Helping Kay stay safe when out in the community
• Supporting her to develop independence and life skills
• Encouraging participation in creative activities such as drawing, arts and crafts, music and cooking
This role is about helping Kay enjoy new experiences, make choices and have fun while ensuring she feels safe, supported and understood.
Who We're Looking For
The ideal person will be:
• Fun, energetic and positive
• Patient, caring and understanding
• Confident supporting a young person with learning disabilities
• Able to encourage independence while providing reassurance when needed
• Interested in creative activities, music, Disney and community outings
• Comfortable providing gentle guidance and boundaries
• Understanding of cultural needs, including halal dietary requirements
Knowledge of Makaton would be highly beneficial but is not essential.
A driver would be advantageous due to some activities taking place across Glasgow, although excellent public transport skills and a willingness to support independent travel are equally welcome.
Hours and rate of pay
• This role is for 5 hours per week,
• Rate of pay is £14.45 per hour.
The Right Match
More than qualifications or experience, we are looking for someone who can connect with Kay, appreciate her wonderful sense of fun, support her dreams and help her continue growing into a confident and independent young woman.
If you enjoy Disney, don't mind a bit of karaoke, and would love supporting a young person with a big personality and an infectious enthusiasm for life, we'd love to hear from you!
