About the Role - A Meaningful and Supportive Role:
Please note: a driver with access to their own car is required due to the client’s location. You will not be required to drive the client.

She also has a stoma and is currently on bed rest due to a pressure injury. With the right support, she is keen to build back up again, regain confidence and work towards being more active in her day-to-day life.
This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys building a consistent relationship with one client and supporting both clinical care and independence at home.
The role will involve personal care, stoma-related support, pressure area care, day-to-day assistance, and rehab-focused encouragement, including physio exercises, stretches and support with gradually increasing activity, PA-style support may also be included. Consistency and reliability will be important for this package.
You will be supported by Paragon’s clinical and operational team, working to a structured care plan.

- Experience in spinal and/or brain injury care ABI, neurological conditions, tracheostomy, ventilation, PEG, bowel care, or similar experience where possible.
- Comfortable supporting personal care and stoma-related needs
- Female carers preferred for personal care
- Reliable, observant, and proactive
- Able to encourage rehab, movement, stretches and independence
- Practical and confident with day-to-day support and PA-type tasks
- Own transport or reliable travel arrangements essential
- Strong teamwork and communication skills
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Female carer required due to the need to provide personal care (Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1). We welcome applications from female carers who are kind, dependable and confident supporting someone in their own home. You don’t need spinal injury experience – just a willingness to learn, a common-sense approach and the ability to follow the client’s lead.
