The Role

You'll become part of one of our warm, friendly, supportive teams supporting either 3 or 4 ladies within their own shared homes.

Some other favourite activities are knitting and going out and about in their cars for day trips; particularly to Largs, Loch Lomond and Oban as well as runs around the local area.

As some of the ladies have their own mobility cars, it would be great if you hold a full UK, manual driving licence with a minimum of 1 years' experience of driving, however, this isn't a deal breaker for the right candidates.
