I’m a 21-year-old who loves getting the most out of life, and I’m looking for two PAs to join my close-knit, friendly team. This is not your typical PA role—it’s an opportunity to be part of a vibrant, active lifestyle where no two days are the same. If you’re someone who brings energy, positivity, and a sense of humour to everything you do, you’ll fit right in.
As a wheelchair user with complex needs, I require 24-hour support and always have two carers with me at any time. You’ll be working alongside a supportive team and my family to help me with all aspects of daily living, while also enabling me to stay independent and fully engaged in the things I love.
I’m currently in higher education and enjoy a wide range of activities. One day you might be heading out for lunch or a trip to the beach, and the next you could be joining me at a live football match cheering on Brighton & Hove Albion, or at a rock concert. I also enjoy more relaxed downtime—playing video games, getting stuck into classic board games, or heading to the pub for a drink and a laugh.
This role suits someone who is fun, fit, and outgoing, with a natural ability to connect with people. Being engaging, supportive, and adaptable is key, along with having a good sense of humour—you’ll be part of my everyday life, after all. In return, you’ll gain a rewarding role where your support genuinely makes a difference, while being part of a positive and lively environment.
If you’re looking for a meaningful role that combines care with companionship, adventure, and plenty of laughs along the way, this could be exactly what you’re after.
