We are looking for a part-time (20 hours per week) Female Personal Assistant with a full valid driver’s licence to join an existing all female team to provide support to a woman who lives in her own home in Leith (along with her three cats!).

About this opportunity
Join a team supporting Cat, someone who loves getting out and about and going places. She enjoys chatting and her daily outing to Greggs for a cup of coffee, as well as going to the shopping centre to visit the clothes shops. When the weather isn’t great, it’s really important to her to be able to get places in the car, so she works well with someone who is able to drive her places regularly. The start and end of her days are generally more slow-paced, with an outing or two in the afternoon to get out and run errands. When Cat gets home in the evening she enjoys getting comfy with her three cats at home and watching her favourite tv soap or murder mystery show.
Cat has a great sense of humour and works well with people who can share that with her. She is also someone who knows her mind and will communicate if there is something that doesn’t work for her.
You would be joining a small, personalised team and you would be expected to take part in the additional responsibilities that come with this, such as rota planning, attending meetings and planning sessions, supporting the person to achieve her outcomes, and carrying out a share of admin tasks for the team as required. Time for these tasks is built into your contracted hours.
