Female* Personal Assistant DC261

£13.45 per hour
Part-time, Full-time

Job Purpose

Our Personal Assistants support people to lead full, active and socially connected lives, supporting people to achieve the things that matter to them.

Applicants should have, or be willing to work towards, a qualification meeting the standards required for registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

Job Details

We are looking for one female* to join a dedicated team of PAs that supports a busy happy go lucky young man who has cerebral palsy, global development delay and epilepsy. This is a permanent post and is for 20hrs per week.

Typically, shifts on days when he is not at the centre (Wednesdays, Thursday , Saturday and Sundays) can be 9am - 5pm or 5 – 10pm, followed by a sleepover.

The team plan and agree the rolling rota in advance.

About this opportunity

This young man attends a day centre 3 days a week. In his spare time, he enjoys going to the theatre, cinema, out for walks, listening to music. He loves his food and enjoys going out for meals and is particularly fond of a certain well-known burger chain!

He is very close to his family and has days out and holidays with them which includes his support team.

He has his own unique way of communication through expression and how he vocalises, and it is important that his team take the time to get to know him well and understand all his needs. He does have epilepsy that may require emergency rescue medication. He uses a wheelchair and requires all aspects of support with personal care.

On the days he attends his day service (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday), support is provided from 7 - 9am and from 3 -10pm followed by a sleepover.

*Exemption under Equality Act 2010
