We are looking for a PA/Carer to support a 25-year-old individual based in Hastings, East Sussex, who is living with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy (the latter well-managed with medication). This role is ideal for someone who is compassionate, reliable, and organised, with a genuine desire to help someone gain greater independence in their daily life.
The successful candidate will provide support with a variety of tasks, including basic administrative duties, cooking, domestic responsibilities, and assistance with personal care. You will also be expected to assist with commuting to and from the workplace, so a full driving licence and the ability to drive is essential.
Previous experience in a similar role is preferred (ideally around one year), though we are open to applicants with the right attitude and a willingness to learn. Strong organisational skills and a proactive, supportive nature are important qualities for this position.
This is a part-time role with flexible hours. Support is primarily needed on Monday afternoons and early evenings, weekends, and occasionally on Thursdays and Fridays, depending on need.
This role would suit someone who enjoys being sociable and active, has a good sense of humour, and is passionate about helping others work toward personal goals. If you enjoy cooking, fitness, days out, and making a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Personal care
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Experience with CP/Epilepsy (1 year/preferred)
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
If you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
