Flexible – I prefer 12-hour shifts as a minimum, and I also run 24-hour shifts (typically 10am–10am).
About the Role
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for Personal Assistants / Support Workers to join my small team in Troon, Ayrshire.
I’m a C5/6 quadriplegic, and while I need support with day-to-day things like getting up, showering, meals, and getting around, I’m fully independent in how I direct my care. This isn’t your usual “care job”, it’s relaxed, personal, and based on routine rather than rushing about.
Pay is £13.45 per hour, and I usually run 12-hour or 24-hour shifts, starting around 10am.
Those times (like 10am–6pm, 10am–10pm, etc.) are just examples, I can be flexible depending on what works best for both of us.
If you’re local or can easily commute to Troon, that’s perfectly fine too.
Overnight shifts include your own private room with a TV, storage, and fresh bedding, and most nights are quiet sleep shifts unless something urgent comes up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Role Overview
Your Role Will Include
- Supporting with morning and evening routines
- Personal care, showering, and dressing
- Meal preparation and mobility assistance
- Occasional light household tasks
- Providing support to maintain independence and routine
You’ll work directly with me. I’ll show you everything you need to know, so confidence and a willingness to learn are more important than experience.
About You
I’m looking for someone who is:
- Reliable, patient, and adaptable
- Easy-going and comfortable following direction
- Positive, with a good sense of humour
- Open to learning and genuinely wanting to help
Experience in care or support work is helpful but not essential, attitude and reliability matter most.
About Me
I’m independent, positive, and currently studying Environmental Science Management through the Open University. I’m involved in accessibility advocacy, adaptive sports, and community projects to improve independence for others. I enjoy working with people who are kind, proactive, and like being part of something meaningful.
