Working Alongside Disabled People | Promoting Choice, Control and Autonomy
2–4 Days per Week | Possible Sleep-Ins
Are you an exceptional organiser who enjoys making things happen? I'm looking for a highly organised, proactive and professional individual to become a key part of Quirky Advocates. This is a unique opportunity for someone who combines excellent administrative and coordination skills with a genuine commitment to promoting independence and equality for disabled people.
This is not a traditional care role, working for a non-traditional disabled woman (Director/Founder of Quirky Advocates).
You'll be responsible for coordinating Personal Assistants, managing day-to-day logistics, attending appointments, assisting with problem-solving and providing Personal Assistant cover yourself. No two days are the same.
This role would suit someone with experience as a Personal Assistant, or an experienced Personal Assistant looking to take on greater responsibility.
About Me
As a disabled person myself, I lead a busy and active life and believe disabled people should have the same opportunities, choices, rights and autonomy as anyone else.
Personal Assistants are professionals who work with me—not for me—and are valued members of the team. Mutual respect, trust and professionalism are at the heart of how we work together.
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.

You'll have genuine responsibility, variety and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.
Why We Use the Title Personal Assistant
We deliberately use the term Personal Assistant (P.A.) because it reflects a professional relationship between PAs and PA Users.
