This would be a fantastic opportunity for someone at the moment on a Graduate VISA.

This is a ‘genuine occupational requirement’ under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and so only female applications will be evaluated.

Salary and Contract Options We have 2 contract options to choose from

48 hours, includes 1 sleeping night/week.

Essential Criteria Female, Driver – due to rural area

Role Requirements; 24/7 care package. M is in her 30’s and has a complex, progressing disease meaning she needs 24/7 support.

Now living in Glasgow, where she is engaged in the city’s thriving art and music scene, she is still creative with eye-gaze technology and finds expression and identity via her work and her love of music.

M lives next door to her parents and sister, and has a close-knit team of care.

She spends her days listening to music, podcasts, reading, being outside, watching films and doing art.

She is clever, artistic and emotionally sophisticated and is seeking assistance from people who actually understand her for who she is despite her impairment.

What the role involves – You will support M with all areas of daily living including:

• Fully supported with personal care, nutrition (PEG feeding), medicines and clinical tasks
• Manual handling and repositioning (particularly when awake – 2:1 help needed)
• Eye gaze technology to support communication
• Offering emotional support and assisting M in coping with the psychological consequences of her condition
• Giving her access to her passions and creative outlets – from exhibitions to movies, theatre, dance, literature, poetry and music. M is already an artist using her laptop, and is excited to learn how to DJ using her eye gaze.

If you are:

• Calm, patient and emotionally tough
• Intuitive, aware of and responsive to subtle shifts in comfort or wellbeing
• Kind, supportive and reliable
• Family-oriented, respectful of family life and able to operate in a close-knit household atmosphere
• A real passion in art, music, creativity or holistic wellbeing
• Cat friendly, confident driver (rural area), non-smoker preferable.

Experience in health or social care is a plus but not a need – we’re looking for the right individual, not the perfect CV.
