Summary
Opportunity: Personal Assistant for Nick – A Football Fan with a Big Heart!
Location: Law, South Lanarkshire
Hi, I’m Nick – a young, energetic guy with a real passion for football! I’m a season ticket holder at Motherwell FC, I follow Carluke Rovers, and I train with the Motherwell Disability Football Team. I also enjoy spending time online in football chatrooms and getting out for regular walks around my village.
I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with my day-to-day life and help me stay organised, active and independent. I live with my parents, in Law, where I also have separate accommodation.
__________________________________________________________________
About the Role:
Your main role will be to help me maintain my routine and support me in living life to the full. Here's what you might be doing during a typical week:
• Morning support: Prompting to help me get ready for work (I work at Finsbury’s in Hamilton packing – early starts at 6am!).
• Evening help: Meal prep, laundry (including ironing), and some supermarket shopping.
• Appointments: Support for visits to the doctor, dentist, hearing aid clinic, and occasionally the Universal Credit office.
• Social life: It’d be amazing if you could help me explore more social activities and events – especially if you’re into football too!
• Occasional overnights: If my parents are away, it would be great if you’re open to staying over now and then – but this isn’t essential.
__________________________________________________________________
What I’m Looking For:
You don’t need previous experience – what matters most to me is that you're:
• Kind, reliable and person-centred
• Comfortable working in Law
• Into football or other sports (bonus points if you’re a fan!)
• A driver with access to a car (mileage paid)
_________________________________________________________________
Pay & Hours:
• Hours: 9 hours per week | £12.60 per hour | Flexible days (Tues/Wed preferred)
• Driving licence essential | Mileage reimbursed
• Extra hours available when covering my parents' respite breaks
_________________________________________________________________
If you’re someone who enjoys being active and wants to make a difference in someone’s life, I’d love to hear from you!
To apply please submit your CV to gcilsouthlanarkshire@gcil.org.uk.
