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
