Are you fun, outgoing, and full of energy? Do you love spending time outdoors, getting involved in family life, and supporting others to make the most of every day? We’re looking for two PAs to join our friendly team, helping to provide a mix of home support and community access for a warm, lively family who truly value those who become part of their lives.

These are full-time roles (minimum 36 hours per week), with shifts ranging from 6:30am to 10pm, usually split into 7–8 hour shifts to suit a flexible Monday to Friday schedule. One position is permanent full time, and one is full-time maternity cover, offering a great opportunity to join a supportive, close-knit environment.

You’ll be working 2:1, providing assistance both at home and out and about—helping with home schooling, joining in with outdoor adventures, and supporting a variety of activities that make every day unique. Whether it’s a trip to the pub, watching football or F1, or simply spending quality time with the family (and their pets—yes, there are ducks, chickens, and even a lizard!), no two days will be the same.

We’re looking for people who are flexible, fun-loving, and have a great sense of humour—someone who can bring positivity, patience, and enthusiasm to everything they do. If you enjoy making a difference while being part of a warm, family-oriented environment, this could be the perfect role for you.

• Medication prompting/administering
• Personal grooming

Candidate qualities:

• Hygienic, tidy and well organised
• Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
• Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
• Honest and cheerful
• Creative
• Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
• Must be comfortable with pets
• Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
