Assistant to Disabled Advocate/woman/creative

1 week ago


Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom Quirky Jobs Ltd Full time
I've been described as a inspirational, quirky, motivational Disabled woman. I work as an Advocate for disabled people, as well as being a Disabled single parent.

Previously I've been a Disabled Artist working extensively in the British contemporary dance and physical theatre scene, as a performer, filmmaker, teacher, and consultant have developed a reputation for depth, intelligence and physical courage in my work.

The business has a few projects running at the same time all based around promoting equality for disabled people.

I need an Assistant that has skills and experience in the following:

  • Administration
  • Budgets/Finance
  • Marketing/Social Media
  • Apple Devices
  • Muti Tasking
  • Personal Assistance
And a Driving Licence


Also, someone that's able to appreciate the challenges that life brings and that has good common sense, a good sense of humour, and is open to learn.


The hours will be based on 4 days a week, 6 to 8 hours a day and starting times are between 7.30am and 9am depending on the day of the week.

Occasional weekends.


I currently employ Personal Assistant (P.A.) as it is a more positive professional title compared to the terms Support Worker, Enabler and Carer.

These terms tend to have connotations of someone being looked after rather than someone assisting people to have an autonomous lifestyle.

I believe using the term P.A.

is more respectful and is a more empowering term in relation to disabled people and PAs as it recognizes the role of P.A.

as a professional career choice.
