Edinburgh, United Kingdom Hibbert Family Full time

I am a severely disabled man having suffered a serious cycling accident in 2019 which left me paralysed below the neck. No experience is necessary for the roles described below, however; applicants should be able to demonstrate the following qualities:

- An ability to work as part of a high performing team - exhibiting strong communication skills (spoken and understood English), an open-minded attitude, flexibility, integrity and a willingness to share knowledge. A sense of humour is also highly desirable
- An appetite and ability to learn a new set of skills around my specialised care needs.
- An understanding of how to behave in a domestic care environment and respect my needs and my family.

Given the level of injury to my spinal cord, I rely on a ventilator to breathe. The work involves tracheostomy and ventilator care (which can sound quite intimidating) as well as learning “manual handling” skills and the use of a traction hoist. Full training will be provided by my existing team and supported by expert nurses at the National Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow. Depending on your aspirations, there are a number of great educational opportunities, particularly for those developing a career in the care or nursing sector. The work can be physical at times so a reasonable level of fitness is important and you should be prepared to stay awake during night shifts.

I am seeking to fill two roles as soon as possible with a number of new hires:
**Personal Assistant.** This is an entry level position involving the provision of basic personal care and training towards a skilled “Trusted Personal Assistant” as described above.

**Trusted Personal Assistant**. This involves learning the skills outlined at a high level above. Depending on your capabilities and experience (as well as shifts worked) you might expect to reach this level within 1 - 3 months.

DRIVING LICENCE ( Manual) REQUIRED

Must be available to work a rotational 12 hour shift pattern (day and night shifts) available Monday to Sunday.

**Job Types**: Full-time, Part-time

**Salary**: £13.00-£14.60 per hour

Expected hours: 24 - 36 per week

Physical setting:

- Residential home

Shift:

- 12 hour shift
- Day shift
- Night shift

Work Location: In person
