This is a Personal Assistant role supporting a disabled leader who lives and works at a high professional level. The employer is a foundation chief executive, government advisor, and public speaker with cerebral palsy and complex health conditions including ileostomy management and a history of sepsis.
This is not a traditional care position. You will work alongside someone who chairs meetings, advises government, leads a pan‑Wales organisation, travels across the UK, and speaks at national events. Your role is to remove barriers - so the employer can focus on what they do best.
The right candidate will be someone who understands that excellent personal assistance is a professional discipline. You will need to be equally comfortable providing personal care and sitting in a room with senior officials, maintaining discretion and composure throughout.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
* Provide personal care and support with all aspects of daily living, delivered with dignity and professionalism
* Support the employer in professional settings including government meetings, conferences, and public speaking engagements
* Drive the employer's adapted vehicle to appointments, work commitments, and social engagements
* Accompany the employer on occasional overnight travel across the UK for work and leisure, with all expenses covered by the employer
* Support day‑to‑day health management including ileostomy care and sepsis awareness – full training will be provided
* Maintain absolute discretion and confidentiality at all times, particularly when working in the home and in sensitive professional environments
* Use initiative to anticipate needs and solve problems without being directed
QUALIFICATIONS
* Full, clean UK driving licence and willingness to drive an adapted vehicle
* Compassionate, reliable, and proactive with a genuine commitment to enabling independence
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Able to work independently, use initiative, and exercise sound judgement
* Comfortable and confident in professional, high‑level, and public‑facing environments
* Strong respect for confidentiality and professional boundaries
* Comfortable working in a home where dogs are present
