About the Role:

Are you a compassionate, confident and proactive Live-in Carer / Personal Assistant looking for a meaningful role where personality fit really matters?
Join Paragon Home Healthcare and support a lovely friendly man who suffered a spinal cord injury after an accident in his family home in Edenbridge, TN8.
We are recruiting male or female applicants for this role. He is likes a laugh, so we’re looking for someone who can fit in naturally as part of the household, is relaxed, and is happy to have a laugh with him.
This is a highly personal live-in role for someone who can provide safe, skilled care while also taking charge of all driving duties. You will be driving him in his automatic WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) for local trips, as public transport isn't an option.
You’ll be supporting with his daily routine, pressure care, and general day-to-day assistance, while helping him maintain his independence and confidence.
Over time, the client is keen to get out and about more, so this role would suit someone flexible, open-minded, and happy to support outings and trips where agreed.
Full training is provided, with ongoing support from our experienced nurse-led clinical and care team.

About the Client

Our client is a lovely friendly man in his 60s living in Edenbridge, TN8 with his retired wife and grown up children who work from home.
He has a spinal injury and is a wheelchair user. He requires support with transfers and mobility using a hoist to protect his shoulders and safe moving and handling is essential.
He is looking for someone who can support him safely while helping him continue to feel like himself. This role would suit someone warm, relaxed, respectful, and naturally encouraging — someone who understands that this is not just about care tasks, but about dignity, routine, confidence, and quality of life.
He is quiet but likes a laugh, so the right person should have a good sense of humour, be able to relax with him, and not be overbearing — fitting in naturally as part of the household.
This is very much a Live-in PA / Carer role rather than a traditional “carer-only” position.

📍 Location & Travel
