Driver essential

We are looking for a thoughtful, capable Personal Assistant to join a well-established, supportive team providing 2:1 care for a 31-year-old man with complex support needs. He is well liked by his team, who find him engaging and rewarding to work with, and he enjoys being out and about, meeting people, and living an active, meaningful life.

This is a genuinely good role for someone who values quality, consistency and teamwork, and who wants to be part of a calm, professional care package that is already working well.

• Supporting daily life at home and in the community
• Assisting with personal care, medication and epilepsy management
• Driving to activities, appointments and social outings
• Helping maintain a comfortable, well-run home (cooking, light cleaning, organisation)

• A confident driver (essential)
• A non-smoker (preferred due to the work environment)
• Reliable, flexible and a strong team player
• Calm, observant and able to work with occasional challenging behaviour
• Comfortable working day, evening and overnight shifts (waking and sleeping)

Experience with epilepsy, medication and complex care is welcomed, but training is available for the right person.

• Competitive pay
• 5½ weeks’ paid holiday
• Pension
• A flexible rota
• Consistent management and strong team support
• A positive, respectful working environment where people enjoy their work

Based in North Shields, with a planned move to Whitley Bay in the near future.
