Job description

Two Personal Care Assistants for a lady 36 HRS @ £17.23/hr in Cramlington

£17.23/hr – 36 hrs/week. Contracts on a rolling 4‑week rota, once all training and probation periods are completed.

Seeking a confident and adventurous Personal Care Assistant for a vibrant 36‑year‑old student teacher who’s anything but ordinary! I am currently recruiting the final two full‑time Personal Assistants to complete my amazing care team. Are you the right person, to support me on my own, exciting journey to become a primary school teacher and live an active and meaningful life, despite my complex health conditions?

I am a student teacher studying a part‑time PGCE (a prior Biology Graduate) with regular placements in local schools each week. You will be required to assist me physically – but not to be my voice or my brain! This position offers fun, the challenge of learning new skills, attending many adventures together… and hopefully having lots of giggles along the way!

Your role will include cooking nutritious (allergy/intolerance‑friendly) meals daily, providing both complex medical and personal care, and enabling me to embrace an active social life (accompanying me to the cinema, live‑music concerts, theatre trips and nights out to bars in Newcastle). You must use your initiative and the training provided to work alongside me and my team, to assist me safely during your lone‑working shifts, while fitting seamlessly into my life and routines – both at home and at school.

Based in Cramlington, Northumberland. Earn £17.23 h for a 36 hr contract, following a 4‑week rolling rota (see example rota below). I am looking to complete my team of 5 dedicated PA’s, to provide high‑quality, around‑the‑clock 24‑hr, 1‑to‑1 support. The shift patterns include a mixture of 12‑hr day shifts and overnight shifts, including regular weekend shifts, with roughly one long weekend off per month.

• Week 1: Tuesday & Wednesday night shift (20:00‑08:00) & Saturday day shift (08:00‑20:00)
• Week 2: Monday & Tuesday day shift (08:00‑20:00) & Saturday night shift (20:00‑08:00)
• Week 3: Thursday & Friday night shift (08:00‑20:00) & Sunday day shift (08:00‑20:00)
• Week 4: Monday night shift (20:00‑08:00) & Wednesday & Thursday day shift (08:00‑20:00)

Requirements:

• Min. 1 year of experience providing physical care.
• Must safely drive my adapted automatic Mercedes Sprinter van.
• No perfume, aftershave, long or false nails, rings, watches, or perfume/aftershave can be worn on shift due to asthma/allergies and fragile skin.
• Full UK driving licence; must be able to drive a motability‑equipped car.
• Ability to work shift patterns as described.
