Ask Jules is looking for enthusiastic, caring and like-minded Personal Assistants (PAs) to join the support team of our client, a Creative Writing student based in Wiltshire .
This is a unique opportunity to become part of a young adult's university journey, helping her build independence, enjoy student life and make the most of her time at university.
The Role at a Glance
Start: ASAP
Location: Wiltshire, SN16 9JN
Rota: Live-in, 7 days on / 7 days off (term time only - approximately 30 weeks)
Pay: £180 per day / £1,260 per week worked
Accommodation: Free accommodation provided while on shift
About the Role
Our client is a young adult who is embarking on an exciting new chapter as she moves away from home and continues her university studies.
She is looking for PAs to join her friendly and supportive team and assist her with all aspects of daily life. The role is varied and rewarding, ranging from personal care and household support to accompanying her to university, social activities and appointments.
You will support our client with:
Personal care
Health care and medication support
Social and emotional support
Daily living activities
Attending university and lectures
Accompanying her to medical appointments
Housekeeping and domestic duties
Supporting her to enjoy university and social life
No two days are likely to be the same, and you'll play an important role in helping our client live as independently and confidently as possible.
About Our Client
Our client has recently started at the University of Bath , where she is studying Creative Writing , having previously completed her first year at Chichester University. She is extremely excited to continue her university journey!
She has Friedreich's Ataxia and is an electric wheelchair user. She is looking for a team of PAs who can support her across all areas of her life, from personal care and household tasks to university, social activities and getting out and about.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work alongside a bright, adventurous and sociable young woman while providing meaningful and rewarding support.
A Little More About Her — In Her Own Words
"I will always make the best out of my life, despite the many challenges I face daily, and I would consider myself to be a bit of a party animal as I like being sociable! I really like going out to the pub and having a few drinks! ??
I also love reading; you can just get so lost in a good book that you can forget all your problems and worries.
One of my biggest interests in life is fashion and accessories, and my family and people who know me would probably say I have a talent when it comes to shopping and spending money! ??
Another thing that you should know about me is that I'm a bit of a tea addict — just to pre-warn you, you may be asked to make me a cup quite often!"
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is caring, reliable and approachable, with a good sense of humour and a willingness to get involved.
The ideal PA will:
Have previous care experience, including experience using equipment such as a hoist (desirable but not essential)
Be willing to learn and undertake training
Have a caring, patient and compassionate nature
Be flexible, gentle, trustworthy and reliable
Have some shared interests with our client
Have excellent communication and listening skills
Have a good sense of humour
Be fluent in English
Take pride in being clean, tidy and respectful of the home environment
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who will be a great fit for our client and her existing team.
Training & Support
Previous care experience is not essential.
Full training will be provided in our client's individual needs, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who is enthusiastic about the role and willing to learn.
You will also have ongoing on-call support from the Ask Jules Client Coordinator team , so you won't be on your own.
Why Join Us?
This is more than just a care role. As a PA, you'll help our client experience university life, develop her independence and take part in the things she enjoys.
If you're a recent graduate, a Creative Writing enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys working with people and wants to make a genuine difference, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
How to Apply
To apply, please submit a cover letter telling us a little about yourself, your interests and why you think you would be a good fit for this unique and rewarding role.
We'd particularly like to hear about your interests, personality and what attracted you to working as a PA for our client.
