About the role
Hello! Are you looking for a new care role? Do you want a job that allows you to have regular, contracted hours or choose your working hours flexibly? If so, I am a 23-year-old young woman who is looking for PAs to come and join my fabulous team as contracted staff OR bank staff members. I wonder if you love the colour pink as much as I do! I have a pink wheelchair and fluffy boots, a pink bedroom with pink lights and a pink microphone for singing karaoke style! You might also love going to the theatre as much as me! I especially love a good panto! “Oh yes, I do!” I have regular swimming sessions.…but if you come with me, be prepared to be splashed! In short, I am a girl who just enjoys having lots of fun, but I need support to get up to my everyday shenanigans and am looking for new PAs who have a strong sense of fun of their own so that we can get up to lots of mischief together! If you also have a slapstick sense of humour like me, we will get along famously!
You will need to be happy to drive my wheelchair accessible vehicle, but don’t worry, it’s not one of those huge ones! I do have quite a lot of medical “stuff” that I will also need your help with but don’t let that scare you – we will get you fully trained up in all of my needs.
So….if you are a happy, engaging and energetic person who is full of sparkle, and are interested in joining our small supportive team whilst working in a warm, family focussed environment, I would love to meet you!
