Job description

Looking for a role that’s more than just care?

This is a unique opportunity to become a trusted Personal Assistant and Complex Care Support Worker, supporting one individual to live an active, independent and fulfilling life.

I am looking for a reliable, confident and compassionate female support worker to join my small team as a Personal Assistant and Complex Care Support Worker. This is a one-to-one role supporting me with both daily life and complex health needs.

While the role includes personal and clinical care, it is equally about supporting my independence and busy lifestyle. I need someone who can think ahead, use initiative, manage competing priorities and work independently with confidence.

Please note: This is a female-only position, which is a Genuine Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

About Me

I am in my 30s, blind and use a wheelchair. I have complex health needs, including tracheostomy care, skin care, eye care and medication management.

Despite this, I lead a busy and active lifestyle and like to make the most of each day. I enjoy going to the gym, aromatherapy and wellness, eating out and shopping - retail therapy is definitely my thing! I also enjoy staying busy, getting out into the community and keeping life varied and engaging.

I would describe myself as down to earth, independent and someone who likes things done efficiently. I enjoy a bit of humour, good conversation and people who are easy to get along with but also professional. I’m looking for someone who is positive, practical and confident enough to get stuck in and use common sense.

The Role

This is a varied one-to-one role supporting me both at home and in the community.

Responsibilities include:

• Personal care
• Tracheostomy and complex care support (full training provided)
• Medication, skin and eye care
• Driving to appointments and activities
• Preparing fresh meals
• Light household tasks
• Admin support including emails, online shopping and research
• Supporting me to live independently and stay active

Shift Pattern

• 12-hour waking night shifts: 8:00pm-8:00am
• Regular daytime 2:1 support shifts with another team member
• Flexibility to cover additional shifts when required

What I’m Looking For

You will be:

• Aged 25+ (insurance purposes)
• A confident driver with a full UK licence (motorway driving essential)
• Reliable, trustworthy and professional
• Calm, organised and able to work under pressure
• Able to multitask and manage time effectively
• Proactive, independent and able to use initiative
• Confident communicating and advocating when needed
• Observant with strong attention to detail
• Respectful of boundaries and committed to long-term consistency

Experience

Experience as a Support Worker, Healthcare Assistant, Complex Care Assistant or Personal Assistant is welcome but not essential.

Full training will be provided. What matters most is attitude, reliability, willingness to learn and the ability to follow and pick up structured routines accurately.
