About You

You are bright, talented and capable and you could become one of the people who make up a team of PAs who makes my busy life practical. You don't necessarily need to have any specific previous experience.

You enjoy being active, outgoing and friendly, and helpful. You are organised, practical and self-motivated, with observation skills and the ability to think ahead.

Why This Job Is For You

This role will give you a unique opportunity to gain skills that don t come from a classroom. In this job, you get at least 14 days off per month (yes, you read that right per month!) and you can be based or living anywhere within a few hours travel of Cambridge because you will only travel to work once every two weeks, staying for several days at a time before going home again.

You need to be able to commit for at least four months, and the longest anyone stays is one year.

NOTE: This role has an unusual flexible and residential work pattern, and due to its nature, there are eligibility criteria which are Genuine Occupational Requirements under the Equality Act 2010. Please read the further information on my recruitment website to ensure that you meet all the requirements before applying. You can only apply directly from the website.

About Me

I am an Independent Employer in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. I am supportive, innovative and bold. My goal is to develop the careers of certain young people who each spend up to one year supporting me. While I lead a full and happy personal and professional life without letting my physical disability stand in the way, you gain skills, knowledge and confidence that will set you up for a brilliant onward career, in whatever you want it to be!

The work environment includes:

• Food and accommodation provided while on duty
• Loads of time off (two weeks per month!)
• Growth and career development opportunities
• A stepping stone to many different careers
• Positive about Youth Employment

I am an educated professional in my forties. I am a Civil and Commercial Mediator, resolving people's disputes before they get to court, and I also runs a small engineering social enterprise which provides technology for disabled people. I have a sense of humour and a can-do approach, which is necessary for me to achieve as much as I do. I live with my husband and our energetic dog, and when we are not working, we lead a busy, happy and active home life too. I do everything that anyone else in my position does, but the difference is that I live my life with a physical disability that means I am extremely weak.

I use a powerchair and I need to have someone alongside me (you!) at all times to help me with the simple things that my condition prevents me from doing for myself. Basically, this job is to lend me your arms and legs and use your brain to make it all look easy! It's a role which is very varied, and you can make as much of it as you wish. The foundation of this role is providing personal care and support for my health and fitness, but it also involves being alongside me as I do my job. There's cooking and stuff in my home, and I will rely upon you to organise things so it is physically and practically possible to do everything I want, and in doing so you will gain valuable experience and insight for your future career, whatever that may be.

The residential working pattern of this job means that you live-in day and night for up to five nights at a time, and then you have twice as much time away from work. You can be paid a regular salary for committing to this, or you can work on a zero-hours basis and choose when you work. During each shift you stay with me in my home, or accompany me wherever I go, to be available as and when I need help.

Currently recruiting for graduates to start in Spring / Summer 2027.

Application deadline: Friday, 30th October 2026.
