CL Lifestyles Night Care and Support Somerset seeks a dedicated Personal Assistant to support a disabled leader who operates at a high professional level. The role blends personal care with executive support in meetings and public engagements.
You will drive the employer's adapted vehicle, accompany travel across the UK, and manage health needs with discretion and professionalism. A trial period and DBS check are required; National Insurance number and right-to-work checks will be completed.
This is a Personal Assistant role supporting a disabled leader who lives and works at a high professional level. The employer is a foundation chief executive, government advisor, and public speaker with cerebral palsy and complex health conditions including ileostomy management and a history of sepsis.
