Job Description
Personal Care Assistant (Live‑Out) – Professional 24/7 Support Team
Location: St Neots (PE19) Private Home Long‑Term, Stable Employment
Do you want a job that will never get replaced by AI?
Do you want a job that makes a real difference? This job really matters and you will be helping keep me out of residential care.
Do you want a job where you get to experience things that you normally might not get to see or do?
Do you want a job where you improve your life skills such as cooking, communication, planning, organising and driving?
If you like the above keep reading, but there are two essential non‑negotiables
- You must already have the legal Right to Work in the UK.
- You must have excellent English communication skills.
About the Role
I live with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 and use a powered wheelchair and hoists. I work full‑time for a FTSE 100 company, travel frequently, and rarely miss a Liverpool match. I am your employer – the CEO, HR manager, finance team, scheduler, and project manager – all while running my own career. This is one‑to‑one care. Fit is critical. Local applicants essential.
Why This Role Exists
My life is demanding: work, travel, hospital appointments, physio, football. I need a flexible, reliable, and growing team. My staff stay 10–15 years; this is about sustainability.
What This Job Is (and Isn’t)
Not typical care work. No entertaining, no behaviour management, no SEN. I’m only challenging when Liverpool lose. You help me fit as much as possible into every 24 hours.
Job Security
NHS + DWP‑funded. 20 years of never missing payroll. Pension, holidays, insurance. Work is stable and valued.
What the Work Looks Like
Hospital appointments, physio, swimming, UK‑wide meetings, football, fresh cooking, housework and regular home routines. Travel opportunities (no EasyJet package holidays). Fully equipped home.
