MVOG309 Personal Assistant

This is a Personal Assistant role supporting a disabled leader who lives and works at a high professional level. The employer is a foundation chief executive, government advisor, and public speaker with cerebral palsy and complex health conditions including ileostomy management and a history of sepsis.

This is not a traditional care position. You will work alongside someone who chairs meetings, advises government, leads a pan-Wales organisation, travels across the UK, and speaks at national events. Your role is to remove barriers - so the employer can focus on what they do best.

The right candidate will be someone who understands that excellent personal assistance is a professional discipline. You will need to be equally comfortable providing personal care and sitting in a room with senior officials, maintaining discretion and composure throughout.
