What do Origin Personal Care Assistants have to say?

‘"This job is perfect for me, the money is great, as all the positions are live in I can save from wages because my accommodation and food are paid for.  The flexible working pattern means I regularly get a couple of weeks free time to take myself travelling.  As I live with my parents it also means I’m not under their feet too!"

Origin have clients throughout the country so there are lots of opportunities for Personal Care Assistants to explore, like this one in the South West of England.

Our young client works from home, a 3 bedroomed house in a small market town.  Her interest in music takes her around the region to hear her favourite bands and she needs a Personal Care Assistant who will be happy to accompany her and drive her wheelchair adapted vehicle.  As her Personal Care Assistant you will be expected to keep her home/office clean and tidy and prepare meals and drinks throughout the day.  Our client has a small dog, so her Personal Care Assistant must be a pet lover.  This is a live in job so you will receive free food and accommodation whilst working.

All Origin Personal Care Assistants attend an intensive 3 day training course providing them with the skills and knowledge essential for the role of an Origin Personal Care Assistant.

The variety within the Personal Care Assistant role is what many people enjoy; the challenge of adapting to new environments, understanding of varying needs and the consideration of the individuals working and social life requirements.

Origin training is structured to give Personal Care Assistants an understanding of a spinal cord injury, first aid skills and contacts for on-going support in your role.
