I'm on the look out for another PA to join my team! Part time and Bank role available.

As an ex-rugby professional with a high level injury, I'm looking for someone to help me achieve a good quality of life, live as independently as possible and achieve my goals every day. This could involve you helping me to attend my health appointments, meet friends at the pub, study for a course online, attend sporting events or just have a quiet day at home.

The role will include helping me with admin and correspondence, organising my diary and managing everyday technology (iPad and other devices) alongside some care tasks such as manual handling, personal care and preparing food.

I use a Sprinter Van to get around and due to the size, you need to be over 21 to be insured in it. Being comfortable driving such a large vehicle would be an advantage.

I would like to visit my home in the South of France and hopefully go back there on holiday fairly regularly so having the ability to join me would be fab.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity, so if you think that you have got what it takes, do not hesitate, apply now!

Personal grooming
Eating and drinking assistance
Moving and handling
Clinical tasks

Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative

Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
Honest and cheerful
