About the Employer
I am a 41-year-old disabled man living near central Edinburgh. Due to medical issues, I am currently mostly bed bound at the moment and regularly need turned to change my position but I enjoy getting out whenever possible – whether to a park, museum, or just for a drive. I’m also hoping to add swimming/hydrotherapy and gym visits as my health improves.
Despite my challenges, I have a positive outlook and sense of humour. My previous PA described this role as “an enjoyable, stress-free and varied position, where often no two days are the same”.
About the Role
This is a long-term, stable position with regular hours, suited to someone who enjoys variety. Tasks will depend on your skills and interests, but could include:
- Meal preparation & shopping
- Light housework, DIY & gardening
- Accompanying me to appointments and outings
- Assisting with physiotherapy and occasionally helping with a hoist transfer
- Offering company and support with setting up a small home-based business
There is truly little personal care involved (I already have carers for mornings and evenings).
About You
The ideal PA will be:
- Reliable and trustworthy
- Friendly with good communication skills
- Able to work independently and take initiative
- Punctual, fit, and healthy
- Flexible and committed to a long-term role
- Able to work on own initiative
