Job Role: PA (Personal Assistant)

We are looking to add to our small team of PAs, to support a 45-year-old man with an Acquired Brain Injury, who lives in his own tenancy in Lerwick.

We are seeking outgoing, enthusiastic individuals with good communication skills, that would like to make a positive impact on the client’s life.

We are particularly looking for people who would be able to cover either a Friday or Saturday overnight sleep-in shift. This could be as little as one Friday or Saturday night per month, or as many as three Friday/Saturday night shifts per month.

The Friday overnight sleep-in shift is from 7pm to 12am (with an 8 hour sleep-in), with a following day shift from 8am-3pm. The Friday night shift usually involves going for a coffee at Mareel, followed by the cinema. The Saturday day shift involves going out for a walk with the client and his dog, preparing lunch, helping with other jobs around the house, shopping, and going for a coffee at Fjara.

The Saturday overnight sleep-in shift involves getting a take-away with the client at his house (paid for by the package), and supporting the client to attend karaoke in the Marlex at night. The Sunday day shift involves going out for a walk with the client and his dog, going to Fjara for a coffee and brunch, shopping, and helping with other jobs around the house. The day shift is from 8am-4pm on a Sunday, but earlier finish times on a Sunday are possible.

As well as the regular weekend shifts that are currently available, there will also be other shifts which need covered from time-to-time; which may include overnight and/or morning and afternoon shifts during the week.

Weekday shifts see the PAs support the client to cafes for a coffee in the afternoon and evening, and to take part in activities during the day; such as the Clickimin Gym and Healthsuite, along with lunch preparation, dog walking, shopping, helping with jobs around the house, and any other activities the client wishes to participate in.

Rates of Pay:

Day rate (8am to midnight): £15.50 per hour
Sleep-in rate (midnight to 8am): £11.44 per hour

It is essential that all candidates have access to a car, and that they are comfortable with dogs (a very friendly and affectionate labrador!).
