My name is Ronnie Wilkes, I am a totally blind person who receives housing support and I am looking to find someone who can cover 5 hours or more on a semi-regular basis with the more hours on occasion.
Duties include:
- Dictating email
- Opening and reading mail
- Reading books
- Admin including filing tasks
- Helping buy stuff online
- Going shopping for clothes ,CDs and other stuff
- Day trips around town and perhaps Glasgow
- Attending meetings and appointments
- General household tasks and a half hour visit to a cafe
I am an experienced visual impairment awareness trainer, and we will discuss and develop these skills as the sessions go ahead and this will include showing the person my preferred guiding technique.
I believe I am an easy person to work with and I like the sessions to be relatively informal but if I was able to meet people in the college who were interested in this post, then we could discuss this further to see how compatible myself and the student would be. Then we would both go together to run this by the Harmony Agency who manage my support who are responsible for PVG checks and payment of wages.
To apply email Ronnie Wilkes ronjambo@yahoo.co.uk explaining your suitability and interest for this job or phone 0131 652 0678. Work can start now or when the next academic year starts in September 2026.
Thanks once again and I look forward to any replies that come my way.
