Our Personal Assistants support people to lead full, active and socially connected lives, helping them achieve what matters to them.
Applicants should have, or be willing to work towards, a qualification meeting the standards required for registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
We are seeking Personal Assistants to work with a 49-year-old gentleman living in Craigmillar. Various hours of work are available.
About this opportunity
This gentleman has a diagnosis of Autism and Bi-polar disorder. He is a loving, caring man who can be overwhelmed by his emotions.
He follows a weekly routine; this is very important to him as he finds transitions challenging. He is tactile, enjoys laughing, company, and chatting. He is very capable and does not require support with personal care. He is a delight to know.
Experience with Autism or mental health would be beneficial.
We are committed to supporting your skill development as a practitioner and creating career opportunities. At Thistle, you will have access to sector-leading training courses and support to achieve your SVQ level 3 in Health & Social Care.
