Are you kind, dependable, and looking for a role where you can genuinely help someone live well each day? We’re looking for one or two Personal Assistants to join a small and supportive care team for a warm, independent-minded woman who values her autonomy and enjoys the comfort of her own home.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a thoughtful, person-centred approach to care.

Your role will include:
- Assisting with meal preparation for lunch and tea, and offering gentle encouragement to help manage fatigue.
- Helping with household tasks to keep her home clean, comfortable, and safe.
- Supporting her nutrition and hydration needs, by preparing meals and drinks she enjoys.
- Encouraging her to stay active and confident in her daily routine, while offering support when needed.
- Working in partnership with her son, who is actively involved in her care and helps with shopping.
- Respecting and nurturing her connection with family members, which she maintains mostly through phone calls.

A few more things to know:
- The family is looking into private physiotherapy at home to support her mobility goals.
- There’s flexibility around meal times—no need to stick to a strict schedule.
- You’ll be joining an existing part-time PA to provide extra support where it’s most needed.

If you're someone who finds joy in helping others, values respect and dignity in care, and enjoys working in a calm, home-based setting, this could be the perfect role for you.

We’d love to hear from you!

Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Companionship

Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative

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.
