Live in Carer - Personal Assistant
Your personal assistant (PA) will be able to help you with all general household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, ironing, shopping etc. All our PAs will also be able to help you with personal care, should this be required. We know that live in assistance is more than being at home, all our PAs are drivers, their ability is assessed before commencing work and they are able to assist you to college, meetings, social outings, etc as required. They normally work on a 2 week on one week off rota.Our PAs are selected as high quality individuals who will be able to support our client's needs. There is a thorough recruitment and selection process, including face-to-face interview. We look for individuals, who are patient, enthusiastic and confident. We also understand how important communication is, and ensure that the carers have understanding, and are able to speak English to a good standard. We carry out enhanced Criminal Record Checks as well as obtaining full background and reference checks as part of our employment process.
Successful applicants complete our induction course, which meets all the TOPSS regulations.
In line with the CSCI and Care Commission Scotland, we encourage the ongoing development of our staff, by regular in-house training and also encourage NVQ.
