Join a PA team supporting an active professional woman and mum with a spinal injury.

I'm looking for an additional Personal Assistant to join my small, established care team supporting me in my day-to-day life.

I am a tetraplegic woman in my early 40s who lives with my husband, young child and dog. I work and study part-time from home and lead a busy, active life, so this is a varied role in a friendly family environment rather than a traditional care setting.

Duties include personal care, hoist transfers, bowel and bladder management, meal preparation, light household tasks, accompanying me to appointments and social activities, and driving my wheelchair-accessible vehicle when out in the community. Full training will be provided, including all aspects of personal care and moving and handling.

A full driving licence is essential. No previous care experience is required, but I am looking for someone who is reliable, calm, practical, has a good sense of humour and is happy working as part of a small team.

Available shifts include:
• Days: 7.30am–5.00pm
• Evenings: 5.00pm–10.00pm
• Nights: 10.00pm–9.00am

There is flexibility for the right person to work days, evenings, nights or a combination of shifts. Full-time and part-time opportunities are available.

This is a permanent PAYE position with guaranteed hours, £14.33 per hour, paid holiday, pension and enhanced bank holiday pay. Would also consider self employed.
