Job description

I am a young professional woman with a significant physical disability and as such, I rely on the use of an electric wheelchair. Currently, I’m looking for one or more people to add to my amazing team of personal assistants, who provide round-the-clock support to me in my own home. This is a live-in care position and the ability to stay overnight is required.

The ideal candidate will be absolutely reliable, flexible, honest, and highly intuitive. A really fantastic sense of humour & a pleasant persona is also essential in my home. You’ll need to be a dog lover as you’ll be spending lots of time with my gorgeous Cocker Spaniel! It’s paramount that you are somebody with initiative, great at dealing with the unexpected & somebody with a keen eagerness to learn and try new things!

I am tenaciously house proud and so an eye for detail and a passion for cleanliness, tidying & organising is an absolute must! If you can make a mean G&T, are skilled with a pair of GHD’s, confident at driving & are interested in all things positivity, mindfulness & manifesting - this is the role for you!

You will need to feel comfortable supporting all aspects of personal care, pet care & household duties. A full clean driving licence and ability to drive is essential.

MAIN DUTIES

1. Supporting all aspects of personal care
2. Supporting with pet care
3. Supporting with household upkeep
4. Supporting with cooking
5. Supporting with travel & transport
6. Supporting with lots of social functions, trips away, work functions etc

From past experience, successful candidates have been people I have got along with on a human level rather than experience or qualifications. If you think you have what it takes to provide high-quality care (to my extremely high maintenance self!!) then please apply.

No experience necessary & specific on-the-job training will be provided but an open mind & a willingness to learn is essential.

Why not start your 2025 with a new incredible adventure!
