About Me and the Role
WANT A JOB THAT'S A BIT DIFFERENT?
I'm a 30-year-old man looking for Personal Assistants to join me in Newark.
I'm a full-time wheelchair user, and I'm looking for someone who can support me with everyday life but this definitely isn't a boring, sit-at-home kind of job!
What You Could Be Getting Up To
- Coming to wheelchair basketball with me
- Heading to the cinema
- Shopping and getting out and about
- Helping me volunteer at the local food bank
- Getting me to the swimming pool for physiotherapy
- Chilling at home when that's what I fancy
- Helping with personal care and healthcare
I'm a big Manchester United fan, enjoy keeping busy and have a good sense of humour.
There's also my cockapoo so you'll need to be happy around dogs!
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.
About You and the Role
Could you be the person who helps me get out, get active and make the most of life?
This could be the job for you if you want a role where every day can be different, where the work you do genuinely helps someone live a more independent and active life.
Previous care or PA experience is desirable, but not essential.
Full training will be provided.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Reliable and patient
- Positive and encouraging
- Comfortable helping me overcome challenges
- Happy getting out and about
- Friendly, approachable and up for a laugh
A sense of humour is important, we'll laugh a lot!
Please note, a full UK driving licence is required. You must also have your own vehicle with enough space for my manual wheelchair.
Any offer of employment will be conditional pending receipt of satisfactory Right to Work Check.
