Personal Assistant (Female, Non‑Smoking) 9h per week @ £15.50/hr in Gillingham - Chatham - ME4

A young woman is seeking a non‑smoking female Personal Assistant to support her in living an independent, active and fulfilling day‑to‑day life. This is a job‑share role, with additional hours available to cover annual leave or sickness. The role is based in Gillingham, Kent.

About the Role

You will provide flexible, practical and person‑centred support across a wide range of daily activities, including:

• Using a Motability vehicle for collecting medication, shopping and general errands
• Assisting with household cleaning
• Meal preparation and support with maintaining a healthy routine
• Occasional personal hygiene support
• Helping push my chair up steep hills or if I am tired and loading my wheelchair and equipment in the car
• Supporting with getting in and out of a swimming pool
• Accompanying me into nature and outdoor spaces
• Supporting with medical administration, including organising appointments and chasing missed correspondence
• Being comfortable working quietly or in silence when I need rest or low‑stimulus time
• Being understanding and supportive during phobias or anxiety attacks, especially when in public

A clean UK driving licence is essential. You must also be physically able to lift mobility equipment weighing 11kg into a car.

About You

I’m looking for someone who is:

• Open‑minded and willing to get to know me
• Understanding, patient and adaptable
• Reliable, punctual and able to work flexibly
• Friendly, enthusiastic, motivating and caring
• Comfortable in queer social spaces
• Confident driving in central London and on motorways
• Comfortable and confident in swimming pools
• Physically fit (to support pushing my wheelchair up hills and loading equipment in the car)

Experience as a Personal Assistant is not required — a willingness to learn and a supportive attitude are far more important.

Additional Information

• This role requires an enhanced DBS check (cost covered by the employer) and references
• The employer has claimed an exception under the Equality Act 2010
• Hours are flexible between Monday and Sunday, with monthly timesheets provided in advance. Hours may change due to last‑minute medical appointments.

I can only accept applications from people who already have the right to work in the UK.
