Looking for a Buddy / Personal Assistant – St Albans, Hertfordshire
Hi, I’m a 38-year-old man living independently in my own home in St Albans. I’ve got a great sense of humour, and I really enjoy spending time with upbeat, lively people. I’m looking for a Buddy / Personal Assistant who can support me to keep living the life I want — full of activities, laughter, and independence.
A bit about me
I love swimming, getting out and about, and making the most of my days. I have a physical disability, so I need some support with personal care, exercise, and day-to-day tasks, but what’s most important to me is having someone alongside me who’s fun, reliable, and enjoys life.
What you’ll do with me
Join me every Thursday (10am – 5pm) for my weekly swimming session. You’ll be in the pool with me and another support worker for approximately 40 minutes.
Drive my car (automatic) so we can go out afterwards for an activity together.
Support me at home with some personal care and domestic tasks.
Keep me safe and well by being aware of risks and helping me with moving and handling.
The kind of person I’d like
Someone who is fun-loving, sociable, and confident — especially in the pool and behind the wheel and able to drive manual and automatic cars.
Someone who communicates well, enjoys a laugh, and can really engage with me.
Ideally, you’ll have experience supporting people with physical disabilities, but good training and support will be provided.
You’ll need to be fit enough to help me safely with moving and handling.
What I can offer you
A permanent role with 7 set hours a week (Thursdays), plus chances to do extra shifts when my team need cover.
Full training and supervision, so you’ll feel confident and supported in your role.
Pay rates:
£15.00 – £15.50 per hour (weekdays)
£17.00 – £17.50 per hour (weekends, if offered)
£12.21 per hour (sleep-ins, if offered)
If you’re someone who likes to make a difference while having fun along the way, I’d love to meet you.
