We’re looking for a friendly, down-to-earth Personal Assistant to support a man with cystic fibrosis and some learning difficulties to live more independently and confidently.
He’s looking for someone who can help him stay connected socially and support him in getting out into the community. Whether it’s heading to appointments, helping make phone calls, or just being there for a chat and a bit of structure, you’ll play an important part in his routine. You'll also lend a hand with managing day-to-day admin and finances, making things feel a little more manageable and less overwhelming for him.
This role would suit someone who’s kind, patient, and organised — someone who understands the value of independence and respects the unique pace and needs of another person. You don’t need years of experience; the right attitude matters most, and training can be provided if needed.
If you’re someone who believes that small things can make a big difference — and you want to be that difference in someone’s life — we’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Companionship
- Support with accessing the local community and encourage him to socialise
- Assist with his finances
- Attend appointments
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
- Honest and cheerful
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
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.
