As a Personal assistant working directly for the cared for person, you’ll play a key role in helping someone live comfortably, safely, and with dignity in their own home. Your support will make a real difference to their everyday wellbeing and independence.
Your responsibilities will include:
· Providing respectful personal care, such as assistance with washing, dressing, oral care, showering, and toileting.
· Creating a safe and comfortable environment by helping with light household tasks, particularly keeping the area around the bed clear, organised, and within easy reach.
· Supporting comfort and wellbeing, including help with treatments and preparing hot water bottles for pain relief.
· Encouraging independence and enjoyment by supporting the client to spend quality time outside the home, including helping them dress appropriately for the weather.
· Sharing in meaningful activities and hobbies such as gardening and feeding the birds.
· Accompanying the client on local outings to wheelchair-accessible locations, with opportunities to travel further as confidence and safety allow.
· Responding flexibly to reasonable requests, adapting support to meet the client’s changing needs.
· This role offers the chance to build a meaningful one-to-one relationship and see the real impact of your support every day. You’ll be helping someone maintain their independence, comfort, and dignity while enabling them to enjoy the things that matter most to them — from getting outdoors to spending time on their hobbies.
· No two days are the same, and the small moments truly count: helping someone feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, or supporting them to enjoy a change of scenery and fresh air. If you’re kind, patient, and enjoy making a positive difference in someone’s life, this role is both fulfilling and deeply appreciated.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:
· Compassionate and respectful, with a strong sense of empathy and dignity for others.
· Patient and understanding, especially when supporting someone with daily personal care.
· Dependable and trustworthy, able to work one-to-one and follow guidance carefully.

· Observant and safety-aware, able to notice changes and keep the environment safe.
· Flexible and willing to adapt to the client’s needs as they change.
· Happy to support both practical tasks and social activities, including outings and hobbies.
Experience in care is helpful but not essential — a caring attitude, good communication, and a willingness to learn are just as important.

Ideal candidate qualities: Calm and grounded individual with a sense of humour; Likes cats; Respectful, kind and person-centred; Awareness and acceptance around differences in social connection; Confident driver; Reliable and punctual.
I identify as ADHD and recently received an Autism diagnosis. I am most able to communicate one-to-one when my nervous system is settled and I am in a sensory- safe space. My brain is monotropic, meaning I function best when my attention can rest deeply in one thing at a time. Being required to split my attention, means cognitive and sensory strain. In a single-interest flow state, I am more regulated, present, and creative. I require a person open to Neurodiversity Affirming philosophy willing to expand notions of normalcy, and work with my highly sensitive nervous system and fluctuating energy levels whilst respecting my autonomy.
