Care Assistant (Female) Live-in
Our clients are independent and motivated individuals living with a spinal cord injury who are looking for reliable and respectful FEMALE personal assistants to support them in their day-to-day life.

- Personal care support (full training provided if needed)
- Assistance with transfers and mobility
- Supporting daily routines at home
- Help with meal preparation and light household tasks
- Accompanying me to appointments, work, or social activities
- Supporting hobbies, interests, and community involvement
We offer:

- Free residential training course commencing the week of the 23rd to 27th of February 2026.
- Free DBS/PVG background checks.
- Free accommodation whilst you work.
- Flexible working patterns and field support.

- Committed to working 2 weeks on and 1 or 2 weeks off.
