- Job descriptionAbout the role

We are looking for a skilled and empathetic Personal Assistant to support both the health and household management needs of L, a neurodivergent adult living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other health conditions.

You will work collaboratively with a small support team to ensure continuity, clarity, and consistency across all aspects of L’s life.

By providing help at the right time, L is able to lead an independent lifestyle in her own home and in her community.

This is a varied and active role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, values autonomy and dignity in care, and is highly organised. You should feel confident to ask what L needs, always listen to the requests, clarify, and interpret them correctly.

Key responsibilities
- Establish a stable, empathetic, and respectful working relationship with L
- Provide day-to-day support related to health, home, and admin tasks
- Track and respond to L’s fluctuating cognitive and physical health needs
- Support medication tracking, health appointments, referrals, and outcomes
- Keep household admin up to date - utilities, online accounts, contact lists
- Maintain clear records on a shared spreadsheet of all actions and support provided
- Draft communications and represent L in writing or conversation in a professional manner as required
- Prepare for and take notes in meetings with health professionals or other service providers
- Liaise with L’s Job Aide, other support workers, and medical professionals to share relevant updates
- Anticipate and prioritise tasks during times of increased need (e.g. during a CFS flare)
- Maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries at all times
- Uphold confidentiality, respecting L’s privacy
- Provide physical assistance and drive L to appointments when needed

About you
- Experience supporting neurodivergent adults and/or chronic health conditions
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Highly organised and able to manage competing priorities independently
- Emotionally intelligent and attuned to the need for privacy and discretion
- Comfortable with problem-solving and proactive task management
- Understand how to support someone in a way that is led by their needs, preferences, and goals
- Confident using Excel
- Physically capable of assisting with mobility (lifting, handling, pushing and bending - you do not need to be strong, but need to be able to operate without reciprocal support from L)
- Full UK driving licence and access to a car

Nice to have:

- British Sign Language
- Competence with Mac-based systems
- Trauma Informed

We warmly welcome applicants with lived experience of disability or neurodivergence and are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment.
