About Me
I am a medically qualified professional living with a complex physical disability. I am seeking experienced, compassionate Personal Assistants to join my small team to help me live with dignity, independence, and purpose.
This is not a typical care role — I am active, curious, and creative, and I value assistants who bring warmth, skill, and common sense. Privacy, calm communication, and respectful collaboration are essential.
I am looking for friendly, enthusiastic, dynamic assistants who are positive about disability, have a “can do” attitude, are able to use initiative, are willing to learn from my experience, respect my choices, and support me to live a full life.

• Strong spoken and written English
• Understanding of disability rights, consent, and autonomy
• Calm, reliable, and emotionally intelligent presence
• Female, non-smoker (occupational requirement due to nature of support and health needs)
• Full UK driving license (21+) to drive a Motability / WAV vehicle
• DBS check and references required
Bonus:
• Experience driving a mobility-adapted vehicle

• A sense of humour and good emotional instincts
