Personal Assistant LKKC261

£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 a part-time (15 hours per week) Personal Assistant to provide support to brother and sister siblings who live in the Muirhouse area.

This is a permanent post. Support is generally provided from 10:00-17:00 Mondays and Fridays and additional shorter evening support on Wednesdays and flexible times on Saturdays. However, the candidate would need to be flexible and adaptable to respond to changing support needs. The candidate would need to be able to provide shorter supports of around 1.5 or 2 hours and so being local to the Muirhouse area may be preferable.

*Exemption under Equality Act 2010

About this opportunity

Join a team supporting two creative people who love getting out and about and going places. They enjoy chatting and having a laugh whilst going out to their favourite café’s for lunch, supermarket trips and visits to yoga and dance classes. Support at times requires arranging and attending medical appointments, arranging social meet ups with friends as well as housing support and cleaning tasks.

They love a laugh and a chat so work well with people who can share that with them.

You would be joining a small, personalised team and you would be expected to take part in the additional responsibilities that come with this, such as rota planning, attending meetings and planning sessions, supporting the siblings to achieve their outcomes, and carrying out a share of admin tasks for the team as required. Time for these tasks is built into your contracted hours
