I am a lady living at Roxburgh, 10 mins from Kelso and Ancrum. I am looking for a cheerful and friendly person to support me on a regular basis. The role is flexible in regard to days and times.
The role would also involve the PA supporting with meal and drink preparation and cleaning up after meals and batch cooking. Although there is also some support needed to empty bins and help manage laundry on a regular basis the other focus of the support is to help with household management. This would involve supporting me to manage my home administration tasks such as sorting and organising mail, clearing away clutter, supporting to ensure the environment supports my wellbeing. There is also a need for medication prompts and to support with physio exercises.
Due to the location, there is travel time available for the visits. This role would only be suitable for a driver based on my location and the applicant would need to be aware that I have a couple of cats so would not be a suitable post for someone who had an allergy.
