Duties

This is a developmental opportunity, no experience necessary. Accredited training will be provided to support your career. 

The Personal Assistant position requires the participant to support disabled or aged Leaders (Service Users) with day to day living requirements, e.g. . light housework, assistance with shopping, attending appointments , etc.
The Independent Living ethos allows the Leader to drive the service deciding what they require, maybe just company, a trip to the hairdresser, or to stay at home and attend to the house.
All Participants will be given training opportunities in any discipline they have interest in, with particular emphasis on the healthcare sector.
CILK can provide structured work experience in this area, with opportunities to paid employment outside of CE allocated hours on engagement with training.
