We’re supporting someone we work for to find someone special to join her small team. She needs some support with her personal care so prefers to her team to be female.
💬 Let me tell you a bit about me…
I live in Viewpark, Uddingston with my mum, who is a huge part of my life. Family means everything to me — especially after losing my dad last year.
People who know me best say I’m great company — funny, sociable and chatty once I feel comfortable. And they’re right… because there was a time when I was out and about all the time — seeing friends, going to college, travelling independently, enjoying life.
But life hasn’t been easy more recently. A few difficult experiences knocked my confidence, and my dad’s passing hit me hard. It means I have become more reliant on my mum and less sure about being out in the world.
The good news though...that confident, sociable person is still there — and I’m ready to find her again. ✨
That’s where you come in.
🌟 What matters to me
Right now, I want to:
- Feel safe, confident and more independent again
- Get back to doing the things I love (and maybe try some new ones too!)
- Spend time with people and rebuild friendships
- Be part of my community again — not just watching from the sidelines
- Have a life that feels like mine, not just something that happens at home
With the right support, I truly believe things can feel really different in a year's time
🧡 What I’m looking for in you
I don’t need someone to take over my life — I need someone to walk alongside me.
You’ll be the kind of person who:
- Is calm, patient and reassuring
- Understands that confidence takes time to rebuild
- Can gently encourage me (without pressure or rushing me)
- Builds trust — because feeling safe is really important to me
- Knows when to step in… and when to step back
If you’re someone who celebrates small wins, enjoys meaningful conversations, and believes in people — we’ll get on brilliantly.
🚶♀️ What the role actually looks like
This isn’t a “routine support job” — it’s about helping me live my life again.
You’ll support me to:
- 💬 Build my confidence step by step
- 🏡 Take more control of things at home and build my independence
- 🌍 Get out and about — even when it feels a bit scary at first
- 🎨 Reconnect with activities I enjoy (and explore new ones too)
- ☕ Visit places, meet people, and rebuild friendships
- 💛 Manage my health and wellbeing
- 🧠 Work through worries and anxieties with understanding and patience
Some days might be about heading out for a coffee or activity...other days might be about staying in, building confidence slowly. Both matter.
🕒 The practical bits
- I have someone working for me five days a week, Most weeks I like to have a couple of days where I don't have any paid support. I change these two days about so that I sometimes have my paid support at the weekend, but this isn't just out of the blue so you will get lots of warning.
- I am looking for someone to work for me 25hrs in a fortnight, usually over 5 days
- I used to like having a few short breaks away without my mum and hope to get back there at someone point. I need to be supported by one of my team when I do this. I will give you plenty of notice, but you would need to be able to leave your other commitments behind for a couple of days from time to time.
- I don't like being supported by strangers, so my remaining team all work a bit extra when one of the team is off work for some reason.
- Your working day usually starts and finishes at my house
