Part-Time Personal Care Assistant (Female) Job

I am seeking a Personal Care Assistant (female) for help 12+ hours per week as a member of my PA team covering morning/evening/daytime shifts as required.

PA team members' responsibilities include meal preparation, hoist transfers, assistance with taking medication, showering, dressing/undressing, administrative tasks and outings. All necessary PPE is provided.

Tastes similar to my own would be an advantage: I enjoy conversation (particularly over coffee and croissants on a Sunday morning), subscribe to the Guardian (I'm all for lively debates in the shower), read quite a lot (but not Sci-Fi), garden indoors and outdoors (with varying degrees of success), am an avid concert, theatre, cinema and art exhibition-goer (as far as Covid-19 permits) and eat far too much chocolate.

An important point to note: Alfraganus, a very fine cat indeed, is undisputed top dog in this household.

Currently the hourly rate of pay is £10.00 per hour on weekdays and £12.50 per hour at weekends.

100% reliability is essential. Inexperienced applicants are not discouraged as specialist training will be provided. Please only apply if you are living within easy walking or cycling distance of Merchiston Avenue, EH10 4NX.

Starting date: as soon as possible.
