Job Ref: BM CG – URGENT: Two x Female (PA) Personal Assistants (GOR*): in Portobello/Craigentinny

Each post at 15hrs/week (evening and weekend work included) 

Do you want to make a real difference to someone’s life? Do you have skills and experience that can be used to support me with my well-being? This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, develop your practice in a Person-Centred way and build on your current skill and knowledge base.

I use a wheelchair and the morning routine includes intimate personal care and preparing for the day ahead.  I can transfer myself, so no moving or assistance is required in this role. The evening routine includes personal care, preparing a meal and assistance with my bedtime routine including use of A CPAP machine (training provided) 

You will need to be a good communicator, compassionate, patient, able to multi-task and to work 'at pace'. Experience in care work is not essential; 

I am seeking people willing to work creatively with me and who have a sense of humour. You need to be open to learning as well as taking instructions from me as the employer and using your own initiative.

The hourly rate is £13.65 and the hours are 15hrs/week over three morning shifts - 7am to 12 noon or three evening shifts 6 - 11pm or a mixture over a four-week rota, so this will include some weekend working.

Interested? Intrigued? Are you ready for a new and unique role in the area of health and social care?
