Personal Assistant for Junior
Junior is a happy quiet boy who is looking for a personal assistant to help him live life to the fullest.
Junior goes to several activities throughout the week, including piano lessons and swimming lessons. He would require a PA who can help him get to these activities and help him participate, for example by helping him get ready for his swimming. In addition to this, he would be grateful to have someone who’s happy to take part in some of his favourite hobbies with him, such as watching a movie in the cinema or going for walks in the park.
A good match would be someone who is kind and patient, and who can adapt their communication style to suit Junior. Junior uses some spoken words alongside Makaton and occasionally uses a talking device. He will also need a driver with their own car so he can easily get to all his activities – mileage to drive Junior to and from his activities will be covered. A female PA would be preferred as Junior feels more comfortable with women.
It is also important to note that Junior needs someone who is vigilant and will watch him when out and about, because he doesn’t always have an awareness of the dangers around him. He also has a physical disability which causes him to be a little unsteady when walking but he tends to use a walker or a wheelchair for longer distances.
This position is for 12 hours per week regularly, which increase up to 26 hours per week during school holidays so it would be ideal if you can accommodate these extra hours. The regular shifts will be Saturdays 10.30AM – 4.30PM and Sundays 6.00PM – 9.00PM. The remaining 3 hours will be worked on a third day which is negotiable. The hourly rate is £13.60, and the position is based in Govan (G51).
Apply to become Junior’s PA today by sending your CV to par@gcil.org.uk with the reference “GE/LD/1.25” in the subject line and the email body. If you have any questions, please call GCIL on 0141 550 4455 quoting the job reference.

Angus is an active young man who is non verbal autistic so looking for PAs to support him in his busy life so he can experience as much as possible.
Angus enjoys both indoor and outdoor activities, including trips to sealife, safari Park and zoos and also his hobbies like the gym, pottery, cinema, swimming, Skiing, walks and eating out.

Let us introduce you to Darren:
"People who know me would say I am a lively, likeable and intriguing young man. I enjoy engaging with my staff but it is important they take the time to get to know me and build my trust. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder and a learning disability and require a lot of additional support with day to day living. My team support me with all aspects of living in my own home, including personal care, Positive Behaviour Support and working towards my own individual goals and outcomes. At times, I can become anxious and upset and I need my team to help me with this - my team are trained in PAMOVA in order to support me during these times. Some of the things I enjoy doing include going for a walk, getting out for a drive in my van (which my staff drive for me), visiting parks and using the swings. I also enjoy playing games at home and particularly enjoy Lego and jigsaws."
Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within ENABLE Scotland by making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. No two days are the same for our Personal Assistants but what we can guarantee is that you will be supporting Darren to achieve his goals and outcomes!
Darren needs the people who support him to:
- Have a good sense of humour
- Be able to work to strict guidelines and procedures
- Take pride in delivering a high standard of care
- Be equally as happy supporting me outdoors for the day or having a quiet day at home
He has a dedicated staff team and is supported by five personal assistants and a team facilitator on each shift so, as with any team, you need to be a keen team player who can effectively communicate with others. You don't need experience but an understanding of Autism and experience of supporting people who have learning disabilities would be advantageous.
