Personal Assistant

Personal Assistant Waterbeck Area  

Please note that Capability Scotland are not the employers, but are acting on our client’s behalf, who is the employer.  

We are a husband and wife in our early 90s and late 80s who are looking to employ a personal assistant(s).   

We require support with activities of daily living. Specifically, but not limited to breakfast preparation, changing of bed linen and laundry and support with medication. We also require support with personal care - washing (showering if desired) and dressing (including donning support stockings).  

We both use mobility aids to get around the house as well as requiring prompting with some tasks due to mild cognitive impairment. Experience of working with clients with Alzheimer’s is desired but not essential.  

We have been allocated the following support: 

• 2 hours in the morning x 7 days
• 2 hours in the evening x 7 days

Hours will be mornings 09.00-11.00 and evenings 17.30 - 19.30. This will be discussed further at interview.  

We will offer £15 per hour but this is negotiable for the right candidate.  

Due to the rural location of our home access to your own transport is essential. 

Our family is important to us. We were both keen gardeners and enjoy attending the local day centre for lunch and tea dances when able.  

We are looking for someone who is caring, compassionate, kind, respectful and trustworthy. The right candidate must be reliable.  

A PVG is required for this role, and we will consider job sharing.
