🫶 About the Role
Are you a compassionate, confident and proactive Live-in Carer / Personal Assistant looking for a meaningful role where personality fit really matters?
Join Paragon Home Healthcare and support a young woman living with a spinal cord injury following a spinal stroke in her 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 is a highly personal live-in role for someone who can provide safe, skilled care while also bringing a discreet, positive and PA-style approach. The client is young and wants support that feels dignified, empowering and natural — not overly clinical or institutional.
You’ll be supporting with her daily routine, personal care, bowel care, hoisting, moving and handling, grooming, and general day-to-day assistance, while helping her maintain her independence, confidence and lifestyle.
Over time, the client is also keen to travel and get out more, so this role would suit someone flexible, open-minded and happy to support outings, trips and time away from home where agreed.
Full training is provided, with ongoing support from our experienced nurse-led clinical and care team.
About the Client
Our client is a young woman in her mid-20s living in Battersea, London SW11 with her fiancé.
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.
She is looking for someone who can support her safely while helping her continue to feel like herself. This role would suit someone warm, polished, respectful and naturally encouraging — someone who understands that this is not just about care tasks, but about dignity, routine, confidence, lifestyle and quality of life.
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.
The right person may have an interest in hair, make-up, fitness, healthy living, fashion, lifestyle or similar, and be comfortable supporting a young woman with getting ready, feeling confident and living as normally as possible.
This is very much a Live-in PA / Carer role rather than a traditional “carer-only” position.
📍 Location & Travel
- Location: Battersea, London SW11
- Driving: Not required and no parking available
