Location: Isle of Kerrera, near Oban
Salary/Hourly Rate: £15
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Monday–Friday, approximately 7:00am–2:30pm
Separate self-contained accommodation provided, with normal household bills covered
We are looking for an experienced, capable and dependable Personal Assistant / Carer to support one elderly gentleman in his own adapted cottage on the Isle of Kerrera, near Oban.
This is a continuous weekday role supporting one person, rather than a series of short care visits.
The Role Includes
Experience with hoists, moving and handling and wheelchair users would be useful, although training can be provided for his particular equipment and routines.
A driving licence is strongly preferred.
The role comes with separate self-contained accommodation on the property, with its own kitchen, living/sleeping area and bathroom. There is no rent, council tax, electricity, gas or normal household running cost to pay.
Kerrera is a small and very beautiful island immediately beside Oban. It would particularly suit someone who enjoys quiet rural living, walking, wildlife and the outdoors. It is important to be realistic, however: there are no supermarkets, pubs or conventional town facilities on the island, and access is by passenger ferry.
Oban is directly across the water and has supermarkets, shops, cafés, restaurants and transport links.
Living on site does not mean being permanently on call. Once the agreed shift finishes, the PA’s time is their own.
The successful applicant will need appropriate PVG membership, the right to work in the UK, and references.
