Job Ref: RB LM Part time Support Worker Required (Edinburgh, Leith area) £12.87 per hour

Support worker required for female in her 60s with ME/CFS (Myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome) and anxiety and EMF (Electro-Magnetic Field) sensitivity. This is for psychological and practical support.
This job essentially requires making a plan with the employer to support me with knowing or recognising my limits and doing tasks within these limits. Such a plan may include helping me to schedule rest and keeping away from technology. This is with a view to improving the CFS and managing it, and giving support to implement the plan.
It would be preferable for the applicant to be a driver to support me with shopping and other tasks out with my home
Some tasks may be required occasionally such as shopping and IT support. It would be advantageous for an applicant to be familiar with Apple technology as I will require support to do things on my iPad. It is important to understand that I would be looking for a PA to complete the tasks (such as downloading files) rather than teaching me how to use the iPad. I am looking for support in spending less time on the iPad. These are variable and require flexibility.
Social distancing required at times (some mask wearing).

Some knowledge of ME/ CFS required and experience preferred but not essential. Here is a link to the NHS website for anyone who wants to learn more: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cfs
