Personal Assistant – Burnley Area £15.62 per hour

Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can genuinely make a difference to somebody's life?

We are looking for a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Personal Assistant to join a small, friendly team supporting an active, independent woman with a spinal cord injury in her own home and community in the Burnley area.

This is a unique one-to-one support role that offers the opportunity to build a meaningful working relationship while helping someone maintain her independence, pursue her interests and enjoy life to the fullest. From supporting day-to-day routines at home to accompanying your employer on social outings and activities, you'll be helping her achieve her goals and enjoy the things that matter most to her.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay of £15.62 per hour
• Annual pay reviews with increases that consistently remain well above minimum wage
• Work in a welcoming home environment rather than a busy care setting
• Build a genuine and rewarding one-to-one working relationship
• Support somebody to live independently and achieve their goals
• Opportunities to attend concerts, theatre trips, shows and social outings as part of the role
• 5.6 weeks' paid holiday per year
• Workplace pension scheme

No Experience? No Problem.

Previous care experience is welcome but is not essential.

We believe personal qualities are more important than previous experience, as full training will be provided. We can teach you the practical aspects of the role; what matters most is finding someone who is compassionate, dependable, adaptable and genuinely motivated to help another person live independently and enjoy an excellent quality of life.

Whether you are already working in care, looking to change careers, returning to work, or simply seeking a rewarding role where you can make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.

Training and Support

You will receive thorough training and support, including shadow shifts alongside experienced team members, so that you feel confident and fully supported before working independently.

Once trained, you will become part of a supportive team while working independently in a comfortable home environment. There will also be opportunities to pick up additional shifts covering annual leave and sickness.

About the Role

In addition to providing support at home, you will occasionally accompany your employer to concerts, theatre trips, social events, and other activities. This role therefore requires someone who is confident driving and happy to drive your employer's vehicle when required.

Work Pattern

• 2 shifts over 7 days 8:00am- 8:00mp

Essential Requirements

• Full UK driving licence
• Confidence driving and willingness to drive the employer’s vehicle following training
• A willingness to cover additional shifts, covering holidays and sickness
• Ability to work independently following training
• A caring, positive and professional attitude

Interested?

This is more than just a care role. It's an opportunity to become an important part of somebody's life and support them in doing the things that matter most to them.

If you think you might be the right fit, we would love to hear from you!
