About the Employer

I am a 41-year-old disabled man living near central Edinburgh. Due to medical issues, I am currently mostly housebound at the moment, but I enjoy getting out whenever possible – whether to a park, museum, or just for a drive. I’m also hoping to add swimming/hydrotherapy and gym visits as my health improves.

Despite my challenges, I have a positive outlook and sense of humour. My previous PA described this role as “an enjoyable, stress-free and varied position, where often no two days are the same.”

About the Role

This is a long-term, stable position with regular hours, suited to someone who enjoys variety. Tasks will depend on your skills and interests, but could include:

Meal preparation & shopping
Driving my Motability car
Light housework, DIY & gardening
Accompanying me to appointments and outings
Assisting with physiotherapy and occasionally helping with a hoist transfer
Offering company and support with setting up a small home-based business

There is truly little personal care involved (I already have carers for mornings and evenings).

About You

The ideal PA will be:

Reliable and trustworthy
Friendly with good communication skills
Able to work independently and take initiative
Punctual, fit, and healthy

· Flexible and committed to a long-term role

Driving licence preferred but not essential
