Personal Assistant

Location: Swansea area
Job Type: Full-time
Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Wednesdays 7.30am to 4.30pm increasing to 5 days per week Mon-Fri from September 2026
Salary: From £13.50 per hour

Are you compassionate, energetic, and ready to make a meaningful impact? We’re looking for a dedicated full-time Personal Assistant to join our close-knit team supporting a young gentleman with profound learning difficulties to live a life full of joy, growth, and independence.

We’re a family-led team working hands-on to develop our son’s daily living skills, confidence, and social engagement. Despite significant challenges—including epilepsy, autistic traits, and mild deafness—he continues to surprise us with his resilience, humour, and capacity to learn. He’s non-verbal but expressive, cheeky, and full of personality. With the right support, he thrives.

About the Role

You’ll be part of a trained team providing 2:1 support, helping him engage in fun, meaningful activities at home and in the community. This includes:

Supporting daily living skills using positive behavioural strategies
Applying physiotherapy and oral motor therapy targets (training will be given)
Encouraging independence through patience, creativity, and gentle persistence
Reading subtle cues and using communication aids to understand his needs
Assisting with mobility, including occasional wheelchair use
Participating in activities like Ski-ability, swimming and hopefully Surfability (yes, that means getting in the sea!)

This is a part time role (33 hours per week) working Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and Wednesday 7.30am-8.30am. Increasing to Mon to Fri (41 hours per week) from September. Statutory holidays (5.6 weeks pro-rata) are included, with guaranteed time off at Christmas.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is:

Patient, observant, and emotionally intelligent
Creative, dynamic, and able to think on their feet
Willing to learn and adapt as our son’s needs evolve
In good general health and physical condition, with the stamina to support an active daily routine e.g trampolining, pushing on swing/roundabout, swimming etc
Comfortable with physical tasks such as lifting, bending, and pushing a wheelchair
A confident driver with a full UK or EU driving licence and access to a reliable car as we are not on a direct bus route.
Educated to A-level standard or with relevant experience
Fluent in English (spoken and written) with basic maths skills. Able to complete basic data forms but an understanding of Excel would be a bonus
Empathetic and enthusiastic about working with individuals with special needs
Experience in assisting with showering, dressing and toileting/incontinence products.
Experience with Epilepsy
Able to give medication (already pre made up by parents). No emergency epilepsy medications required at this time but full training would be given should there be a change to clients requirements.
Happy to work within a small friendly team within a home environment

Experience in behavioural support is welcome but not essential—full training is provided, including sessions with our Behavioural Consultant (BCBA Risca Solomon of Skybound Autism Therapies).

Why Join Us?

Be part of a warm, dedicated team that’s been growing with our son since he was 3 years old
Receive ongoing training and support tailored to his evolving needs
Work in a positive, uplifting environment where every day brings new learning
Help create a life filled with laughter, mischief, and meaningful experiences

A 6-month probation period applies. Salary is paid every 4 weeks and reviewed annually.

Additional Info

Full DBS check required before starting
COVID safety protocols in place (handwashing, sanitising)
Must hold a full UK or EU driving licence and be comfortable driving an automatic car (training provided if needed).
Must have access to a reliable car to get to work as we are not close to a bus route

If this sounds like the kind of role that speaks to your heart and skills, we’d love to hear from you. Please reply with a brief introduction and your up-to-date CV.
