🫶 About the role and the client:

We're looking for a female Live-In PA / Carer to support a young woman in her mid-20s living with her fiancé in a beautiful apartment in Battersea, London (SW11).

We are recruiting female applicants only for this role due to the nature of the client’s intimate personal care requirements. This is considered an occupational requirement and is assessed in line with the Equality Act 2010.

This isn't your typical care role.

Our client is young, sociable and enjoys social media, beauty, make-up, fitness, travelling and getting out and about. She's looking for someone who can provide safe, professional care while also being able to connect with her interests, support her lifestyle and help her feel confident and independent.

She has a high spinal cord injury, approximately C3–T6, following a spinal stroke. She is tetraplegic and has some partial movement, including movement in her left big toe and some right-hand movement.

If you're someone who loves social media, beauty, getting ready, going to the gym, travelling, trying new things and being out and about, you may really enjoy this role.

You don't need to be an expert in all of these areas. What's important is that you're genuinely interested in these things and can build a positive, respectful relationship with the client.

📍 Location & Travel

Location: Battersea, London SW11
Driving: Not required and no parking available
Pets: No pets in the home
Travel: The client would like to travel over time, so applicants should be comfortable supporting trips, outings and time away from home where agreed as part of the role.

Bonus: Up to £400 joining and training bonus
• £150 paid with your first salary
• £250 paid after successful probation

The package is expected to include additional daily care visits alongside the live-in support, and the live-in carer will have a 2-hour daily break.
