About me and the role

I’m a 30-year-old man looking for Personal Assistants to join me in Newark. I’m a full-time wheelchair user, and I’m looking for someone who can support me with everyday life — but this definitely isn’t a boring, sit-at-home kind of job!

Coming to wheelchair basketball with me

Heading to the cinema

Shopping and getting out and about

Helping me volunteer at the local food bank

Getting me to the swimming pool for physiotherapy

Chilling at home when that’s what I fancy

Helping with personal care and healthcare

I’m a big Manchester United fan, enjoy keeping busy and have a good sense of humour.

There’s also my cockapoo — so you’ll need to be happy around dogs!

About you and the role

Could you be the person who helps me get out, get active and make the most of life?

This could be the job for you if you want a role where every day can be different, where the work you do genuinely helps someone live a more independent and active life.

Previous care or PA experience is desirable, but not essential.

Full training will be provided.

Key responsibilities and requirements

• Reliable and patient
• Positive and encouraging
• Comfortable helping me overcome challenges
• Happy getting out and about
• Friendly, approachable and up for a laugh

A sense of humour is important — we’ll laugh a lot!

Please note, a full UK driving licence is required. You must also have your own vehicle with enough space for my manual wheelchair.

Any offer of employment will be conditional pending receipt of satisfactory Right to Work Check.
