We’re looking for a warm, reliable Personal Assistant to join a small team supporting a friendly, non-verbal, music-loving man who is blind. You would be the second member of the team, working alongside another experienced PA as a sighted guide.

HOURS – Wednesdays & Thursdays – hours are variable, up to 15 per week

TRAVEL MILEAGE & TRAVEL HOURS ARE PAID

He enjoys getting out and about – whether it’s a run in the car, a swim or sauna session at the Clickimin Leisure Centre, time in the fitness suite, or creative sessions at Gaada in Burra, where he explores his love of art.

He’s a big fan of music and musical films, so a musical background would be a real bonus.

What we’re looking for:

  • Someone patient, considerate, and easy going
  • A driver with a valid licence (travel mileage and hours are paid)
  • A team player – you’ll always be working alongside another PA to act as a sighted guide

This is a rewarding and active role, ideal for someone who enjoys the arts, being out and about, and making a real difference in someone’s life.
