Hours per week: 15 hours per week Mon to Fri 7 to 10am

Hourly pay rate: £12.21

Hello! I’m a 37-year-old full-time wheelchair user with Cerebral Palsy, living in Hastings, with my lovely husband and are expecting our first baby in February!

I’m looking for a female P.A. to help me with my morning routine while my partner is at work. Hours are Monday to Friday, 7am–10am (15 hours a week), starting in the new year (2026), with shadowing offered in December.

The job is based in Hastings and pays £12.21 per hour, plus 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday a year and bank-holiday enhancements.

About the job

You’ll be helping me get ready for the day — including personal care, such as baths and using a hoist. No experience is needed (though it’s a bonus); full training will be provided.

Once my baby arrives, I’ll still be the one caring for my little one, but the routine may change slightly — your role will be to support me while I do that. This might include helping with tasks that make feeding, changing, and other morning baby routines more manageable for me.

As my child grows, the role may later include things like morning school runs, so a full, clean driving licence is essential.

A DBS check and full training will be provided for the right person.

If you’re kind, reliable, and up for helping me start my mornings with a smile, I’d love to hear from you!

Duties include

• Personal grooming
• Moving and handling
• Other relevant duties as required
• Assist with morning routine
• Help with baby care when the little one arrives

Candidate qualities

• Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
• Reliable with good timekeeping
• Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
• Hygienic, tidy and well organized
• Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
• Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
• Honest and cheerful
• Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
