Overview
I am a spinally injured wheelchair user based in Glasgow, Scotland looking for a female personal care assistant. I require a person that can work 10am-6pm for the day shift, and 11pm-9am for the sleepover, but this can vary slightly. Various shifts available, but must be able to do both day and night shifts. The hourly day rate is £13.50 per hour, and £122.20 total for the sleepover shift. Pension scheme available. It is essential is that you are highly reliable and that you can work to a high standard and, sometimes, tight deadlines. The ability to cover holiday and sick days of colleagues is essential as you will be part of a small team. Must be able to work over the 2025 Christmas and New Year period. Must like cats and be able and willing to interact with them as I have 3 lovely rescue boys who are very important to me. There is no tight structure to how a day may be. Everything depends on how I may feel on the day. I can have days where I am unwell and in a lot of pain, and I can have days where I\'m full of energy and want to get everything done. I am currently recovering from a long period of bed rest, so need support with my rehab. Housework is important to me as I like my house to be tidy and organised. Assisting with my 3 cats helping with cat litter and playing with them is also important. I like to have a laugh and don\'t get bored easily. You must be able to work more than 20 hours a week. Unfortunately, we do not offer sponsorship. Must have a high level of spoken English.
