Are you a kind, patient and reliable person who enjoys helping others maintain their independence? An opportunity has arisen for a compassionate Personal Assistant to support a 91-year-old lady in her own home, helping her start each day comfortably and positively.

She lives with arthritis and scoliosis, which cause pain and affect her mobility and balance. She would benefit from gentle, reassuring support that helps her maintain her independence, dignity and quality of life.

The role involves one hour each morning, Monday to Friday (five hours per week), supporting her morning routine, preparing breakfast and food as needed, helping her get ready for the day, general tidying and liaising with her existing team of PAs to ensure consistent support.

The ideal candidate will be caring, dependable, organised and respectful, with an understanding of the challenges associated with ageing, reduced mobility and chronic pain. Previous care experience would be beneficial, but a positive attitude and a genuine desire to make a difference are equally important.

If you are looking for a rewarding role where your kindness and support can make a meaningful difference to someone's daily life, we would love to hear from you!

Duties include:

- Other relevant duties as required

- Administration

- Housekeeping

- Breakfast/meal prep

- Getting ready for the day

- Working in collaboration with existing PAs

Candidate qualities:

- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality

- Reliable with good timekeeping

- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative

- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills

- Honest and cheerful

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

Notes:

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required. If the role is offered on a self-employed basis, you will be responsible for the cost of your own DBS check.

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.

Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
