Job Details

We are looking for a Personal Assistant to support an elderly gentleman who lives in Craigmillar, Edinburgh. The position is for 15 hours per week.

The shift pattern is 8 am to 1 pm and 5:30 pm to 10 pm.

About this opportunity

G is an elderly gentleman who is full of fun and mischief. He is very cheeky and everyone who works with him becomes very fond of him. He is a wheelchair user therefore moving and assisting as well as personal care will be required but don’t let this put you off as he is a very active man who likes to get out and about.

He drives his wheelchair like he is competing in a Formula One race so you need to be quick on your toes to keep up with him.

G likes his home cooked meals and for his house to be kept clean and tidy. He can become anxious at little things therefore patience, kindness and a happy face are a must for this position. Whoever works for this lovely man is a lucky person.
