About the role
We are looking for friendly, reliable Personal Care Assistants to join a small, supportive team providing one-to-one support to a Clinical Research Scientist with Muscular Dystrophy, who uses a powered wheelchair, to live independently in his own home in Musselburgh.
This is a varied, one-to-one role supporting both personal care and everyday life – at home, out and about, and with occasional social activities. There is no travelling between clients.
No previous care experience is necessary – attitude, reliability and finding the right fit are more important. Full paid training and ongoing support are provided.
The role includes supporting someone who enjoys theatre, films, cafés, exploring new places and spending time with family, so it suits someone who is friendly, adaptable and happy to be part of day-to-day life.
What you'll do
• Provide support with all aspects of personal care.
• Assist with daily living and household tasks.
• Support independent living and community access where required.
• Drive the employer's adapted vehicle as needed.
• Work as part of a small team providing 24/7 support on a planned rota.
What we offer
• £15.50 per hour
• Choice of 12, 18 or 24 contracted hours per week
• 12-hour shifts on a predictable 4-week rolling rota
• Option to work some consecutive shifts as a 24-hour shift, by agreement
• Paid annual leave and workplace pension scheme
• Optional overtime opportunities
• Full paid training and ongoing support
• A relaxed and comfortable working environment with Wi-Fi, food and drinks provided during shifts
• One-to-one role with one employer – no travelling between clients

Please email woodsidepca@gmail.com with either:

We welcome applications from people with and without previous care experience.
