We are looking to recruit a Personal Assistant to provide 1-1 support for a young male in Wallingford.
Here at BelleVie Care, we are looking for people who know how a simple cuppa can warm the heart. That the power of a compliment can make someone’s day. By just holding a hand, teasing out a smile, or sharing a laugh can mean the world to someone.
It’s this compassion and hidden talent that you don’t think are worth putting on a cv, the parts of you that never really get to shine in your current job, the skills you don’t even know are perfect for care, that we seek out so we can ensure that the people we support can live their best lives.
We don’t just see the value in the expected, we see value in the things other people overlook, we see you for you.
If you’re someone whose warmth and kindness shines through, and who embraces their local community spirit we’d love to hear from you. Because, these are the things we value too. Be part of the community that values all of you. Be part of BelleVie Care.
Caring is a value and a vocation.
Find a career that values you.
Bring your whole self to work #Belleviecare
Responsibilities and Duties
What would you actually do as a Personal Assistant?
Develop great relationships with the person you support and their family, treating everyone with respect, kindness and generosity.

Provide practical support to help them do the things that are most important to them, in the way they want. This includes supporting them to plan and participate in the things they already enjoy and to facilitate new opportunities. You will provide support to help take the next step towards independence, to establish new relationships and maintain the relationships they already have.
Provide support with communication and advocate for when this is required. How you communicate is fundamental to providing the best support. A big part of your training will involve how to do this effectively.
Collaborate together and with their family, friends, as well as any colleagues from health and social care, to make sure that our work is coordinated and effective. Our client is currently being supported by another BelleVie PA, but the number of hours that we support them is increasing so we are looking for someone to join them.
Manage your time well, and use it in the best way to support them to achieve their outcomes.
Bring your whole self to work – your talents, interests, and passions. Be creative in the way you work to support
Keep all information up to date – the people you support, and your teams.

If you would like to cover shifts supporting our other clients that is also an option, although it is not essential
If you have never done support work before – we will provide you with all of the training and support you need. We hire people based on values, personality and attitude rather than experience.
