Job description

I’m recruiting an additional personal assistant to join my established care team in a long-term, one-to-one role supporting me at home in Thurnby, Leicestershire.

I’m a tetraplegic woman in my early 40s and live with my husband, four-year-old child, and a dog in an active, friendly household. I work and study part-time from home, and life is varied — this is not a quiet or clinical environment.

The role

• Privately employed (PAYE – no agency or third-party involvement)
• Full-time or part-time options available
• Guaranteed hours
• (Flexibility for the right person to work days, evenings, nights, or a combination.)
• Bank holidays paid at time and a half
• 5.6 weeks paid holiday (pro rata)

Duties include

• Personal care, including bowel and bladder management
• Hoist transfers (full training provided)
• Supporting daily routines
• Meal preparation and light domestic tasks
• Driving my wheelchair-accessible vehicle to appointments, work, and social activities
• Occasional travel and overnight stays
• Full driving licence
• Non-smoker (non-smoking home and role)
• Comfortable working in a home with a young child and a dog
• Good level of spoken English for clear communication and safety
• Reliable, calm, and happy working as part of a small team

No previous care experience required — full training provided.
