Summary
We are looking for someone to provide companionship and personal care to a 59-year old man who is disabled from a head injury following a road traffic accident 40 years ago.
Location: Initially Kilsyth, relocating to Clackmannan after approx. 4-6 months
Hourly rate: £12.60
Hours: Full time, part time, or zero hours
Alistair lives in his own home and requires 24-hour care, which is provided by a small team of assistants. While night times are usually undisturbed, during the day, Alistair needs help with:
- Washing, dressing, personal care
- Managing medication and supplies
- Transfer using a Molift to and from his wheelchair
- Meal preparation
- Laundry and light housework
- Transport to activities and appointments
- Companionship for conversation, puzzles, and games within the home
We are looking for someone:
- With a good sense of humour
- Who can work independently but also collaborate with the team
- With experience in a care job or a willingness to learn
- With a full, clean driving licence
The following training and qualifications would be an advantage but not essential:

- Moving and Handling training
Initial training and supervision will be provided by Alistair’s family and other carers.
We welcome applications from people interested in full-time or part-time contracts or zero-hour contracts to provide holiday cover. You may be interested in a short-term contract while Alistair lives in Kilsyth or a permanent contract, which will involve a change in workplace to Clackmannan after approximately 4-6 months. After the relocation, when Alistair will require predominantly day-time care, the job will be part time with hours to be agreed.
