About the Role
A young woman with cerebral palsy living in Saltcoats, Ayrshire is seeking a compassionate, reliable, proactive female Personal Assistant who is also a driver to support her with all aspects of daily living.

The employer is actively involved in volunteering roles including:
SHOUT, a mental health charity
Girlguiding (including attending camps – some occasional weekend work may be required)
