Job Description

Are you the Personal Care Assistant I am looking for?

I am looking for confident, motivated and empathetic care professionals with excellent communication skills to join my 24/7 care team and support me to live life to the fullest.

I have lived with a spinal cord injury since I was 17 following a car accident, and although I require support with most daily activities, I am passionate about maintaining my independence.

I’m a self-confessed geek who loves sci-fi, comic cons, Star Trek and Doctor Who. Music is also a huge part of my life, from attending concerts to enjoying my sound system at home. I’m interested in computers, films, gaming and keeping active through exercise.

I believe it is also important to add that I love big dogs! At the moment I don't own a dog of my own; however, in the past I did have 3 newfoundlands and a dogue de Bordeaux.

Although I can no longer walk and need assistance with most of my daily activities, I still have a strong desire to lead an independent lifestyle. With the support of my team, I know this is possible.

If you are interested in becoming part of a flexible and truly caring team within my home, broadening your medical and healthcare knowledge, and helping me live my life to the full, then we are here for you too.

Qualifications

Experience working in care would be beneficial for this role, but is not essential. You’ll receive full nurse led training and ongoing clinical support to develop skills in various areas.
