Role Overview
Do you like festivals and travel? Would you like to combine this with work as a Personal Assistant (PA)?
I’m seeking to recruit experienced Personal Assistants (PAs) – women only – to provide personal and domestic support to me when I go to festivals and other trips away. I use a powered wheelchair and have an adapted campervan and want PAs who can both drive and support me on these adventures!
Rates Of Pay
- Daytime (7am-11pm): £14.50 per hour
- Overnight (11pm-7am): £108.00 flat rate
All expenses in relation to the role will be paid, including travel, entrance to events, food and drink – in fact everything except travel to and from my home in Newcastle.

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.
Basically, the post is to drive my van and provide me with support. The main duties include providing personal care, e.g. assisting to go to the toilet, showering, dressing/undressing, stoma care, and domestic tasks (e.g. cooking and shopping). Staying in confined spaces (campervan) requires people to be physically fit.
Each PA will be required to do a complete trip away, a maximum of 7 days. Festivals tend to be between May and September but outside these months there may be other opportunities.
You are not expected to stay awake overnight but the nature of festivals and trips is that there will be late nights and late mornings so PAs need to be adaptable, flexible, and have a sense of fun.
