I’m a 22-year-old who loves getting the most out of life, and I’m looking for two PAs to join my close-knit, friendly team. This is not your typical PA role—it’s an opportunity to be part of a vibrant, active lifestyle where no two days are the same. If you’re someone who brings energy, positivity, and a sense of humour to everything you do, you’ll fit right in.

As a wheelchair user with complex needs, I require 24-hour support and always have two carers with me at any time. You’ll be working alongside a supportive team and my family to help me with all aspects of daily living, while also enabling me to stay independent and fully engaged in the things I love.

I’m currently in higher education and enjoy a wide range of activities. One day you might be heading out for lunch or a trip to the beach, and the next you could be joining me at a live football match cheering on Brighton & Hove Albion, or at a rock concert. I also enjoy more relaxed downtime—playing video games, getting stuck into classic board games, or heading to the pub for a drink and a laugh.

This role suits someone who is fun, fit, and outgoing, with a natural ability to connect with people. Being engaging, supportive, and adaptable is key, along with having a good sense of humour—you’ll be part of my everyday life, after all. In return, you’ll gain a rewarding role where your support genuinely makes a difference, while being part of a positive and lively environment.

If you’re looking for a meaningful role that combines care with companionship, adventure, and plenty of laughs along the way, this could be exactly what you’re after.

Duties include:

- Medication prompting/administering

- Personal grooming

- Eating and drinking assistance

- Moving and handling

- Clinical tasks

- Other relevant duties as required

- Administration

- Housekeeping

- Shopping

- Cooking

- Transportation

- Companionship

- Dressing / undressing

- Bathroom assistance

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

- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills

- Honest and cheerful

- Creative

- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard

- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

- Due to the car insurance policy, applicants must be over the age of 21

- Experience in SEN

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.
