Join to apply for the Live-In Lifestyle Assistant / Support Worker to a recent uni graduate role at Skook Management Consulting.
Are you a recent graduate and not sure what to do next? Or are you someone with a passion for making a positive impact in others' lives?
AskJules specializes in helping disabled university students recruit and employ Personal Assistants to provide their personal and social care. We are recruiting on behalf of our client, an early 20s university graduate residing in Cornwall and working as an actor. He is looking for a like-minded person to join his care team and assist him in daily living. This is a great opportunity to help make a positive impact on a young adult's life.
Job Title: Live-In Personal Assistant
Start date: March 2025
Location: Helston, Cornwall (TR13)
Weekly live-in rota: 7 days on and 7 days off.
This position is to support our client whilst at work and at his home in Cornwall.
Pay & Benefits:
* £180 per day / £1,260 per week worked
* Free accommodation at the family home
* 5.6 weeks holiday per year
About Our Client:
Our client recently finished university, where he studied Human Geography at the University of Exeter. He has a physical disability, Cerebral Palsy, and is a member of the National Youth Theatre. He is confident in his own ability and enjoyed living independently at university.
As written by him:
* I like to be organised!
* I studied Human Geography and am also interested in politics and general news.
* I love acting and will need you to help me learn my lines/auditions. I travel a lot with work, so a good sense of direction/map reading skills are helpful!
* I have a very broad range of interests.
* I love going to the cinema! I watch a lot of films!
* I have Cerebral Palsy, which affects all four limbs and limits my fine motor skills. Within a safe space, I can walk around but limit this to a few places.
* Be prepared to Google random questions in the middle of conversations - I am a curious person who loves to learn about the world.
* I'm not a drinker, so you won't have to retrieve me from the gutter, well not from alcohol use anyway.
About The Job:
You will provide our client's personal care and social support. Previous PAs have noted that the knowledge they are having a positive, daily impact on someone's life, along with the relaxed, inclusive working environment, makes this a unique and exciting opportunity.
Care experience is not required as full training in our client's particular requirements will be provided. You will be required to provide the highest quality of care and support, with our client directing you on what needs to be done. While care experience is useful, it is more important to have the personal attributes that make for a good match with our client. The majority of hours worked will be spent as his companion.
About You:
You are unlikely to have experience in every aspect of our client's care; therefore, full training in his particular needs is provided. You will need to be:
* A confident driver with a full, clean UK driving licence to drive our client's VW Transporter (Essential)
* Physically fit, calm, patient, and caring
* Good organisational skills and able to work on your own initiative
* Have a great sense of humour
* Sensitive to the needs of others
* A mature and responsible attitude
* Excellent hearing and communication skills
* Computer literate
* Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
