I am an older lady and live in Hawick with my cat whom I adore. I am looking for additional PAs to provide some relief shifts to cover annual leave and sickness cover when other members of the team are off, and also some additional hours as and when required. I have Alzheimer’s and require assistance to get showered and dressed and to be my companion for the morning and assist with meal preparation at set mealtimes. You need to be patient and caring, and I would prefer someone who can demonstrate awareness of the support required by people with Alzheimer’s if possible.

* Assistance and support with personal care if/when required as well as help with getting showered and dressed in the morning.
* Tidy up as you go, and ensure my home is secure when you leave.

* Previous experience of Alzheimer care preferred, although personal insight would also be acceptable.
* You will be cheerful and self-motivated with a good sense of humour.
* You will be honest, reliable and respectful of the need for confidentiality at all times.
* You will be comfortable around my cat.
* It would be beneficial if you could be flexible, and be able to cover for other PA holidays, sickness and days off etc.
Hours of Work:
* Various hours and days as and when required, also to provide cover for holiday and sickness cover.
Rate of Pay:
* £14.00 per hour.
* 5.6 weeks A/L calculated on a pro rata basis.
