Job Purpose

To provide support for a positive and independent man who is a wheelchair user.

I’m a 34-year-old man living with Friedreich’s Ataxia, which affects my balance, coordination, and muscle control (similar to MS). I value kindness, empathy, and a person-centred approach to care.

Although I try to do as much as I can for myself, I need support with all aspects of daily living, including personal care, domestic tasks, shopping, cooking, and engaging in activities.

I enjoy going to the gym, and I have a dog and a cat, so it’s important that my PA is an animal lover.

This role is offered on a job-share basis, and I am looking to recruit two PAs.

There are currently 26 hours available per week in total, plus additional holiday cover. This includes bedtime support at around 22:00, across 7 days a week.

There are also a further 12+ flexible hours available to be worked across the week, arranged to suit both parties.

If you’re kind, reliable, and enjoy helping others live independently, I’d love to hear from you
