Job Details
Personal Assistants
Are you looking to make a real difference to the lives of people with disabilities, supporting young adults to live their best lives?
We are currently recruiting for several 20 hour contracts (or fewer hours if this suits you) in the EH10 area, supporting a small group of young adults who each live in their own flat.
About this opportunity
You will be part of an established and supportive team, providing person centred support that promotes independence, choice, and wellbeing.
The service supports
• A young couple who live together, supported to live as independently as possible
• Three females, all very different individuals with their own needs, interests, and sparkling personalities. All live independently within their own flats but are neighbours.
• A young gentleman who requires 1 hour of support each morning to help him get ready for work
What the support involves
Support focuses on everyday life and meaningful connection, including:
• Cooking and meal preparation
• Shopping and community outings
• Household tasks
• Emotional support, including taking time to talk over the day and offer reassurance
Hours of support
• No evening work
• Support times may vary between: 10am – 4pm, 8am – 6pm and 10am – 7pm
• Working Monday to Sunday on a rota basis
If you are caring, reliable, and value supporting people to have choice, dignity, and independence, we would love to hear from you.
