A Personal Assistant (PA) is someone who can support an older or disabled person to give them more independence and live their life more fully. PAs need to be good listeners, with a willingness to learn and respond.

The job can be very flexible, offering part or full-time work on different days and at different times. Some PAs work part-time, alongside another job. The role is also suitable for a student or retired person wanting a few hours a week.

We currently have vacancies working with children and young people and adults offering a range of social time only posts or mixed care packages including personal care and social time.

The role of PA would be to support him eating, dressing and personal care during term time and the school holidays, also to assist the family in accessing the community on family days out. His likes are watching slap stick comedy and Youtube and playing on his Xbox. He loves animal too.
