About Me I am an Independent Employer in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. I am supportive, innovative and bold. My goal is to develop the careers of certain young people who each spend up to one year supporting me. While I lead a full and happy personal and professional life without letting my physical disability stand in the way, you gain skills, knowledge and confidence that will set you up for a brilliant onward career, in whatever you want it to be! The work environment includes: Food and accommodation provided while on duty Loads of time off (two weeks per month!) Growth and career development opportunities A stepping stone to many different careers Positive about Youth Employment I am an educated professional in my forties. I am a Civil and Commercial Mediator, resolving people's disputes before they get to court, and I also runs a small engineering social enterprise which provides technology for disabled people. I have a sense of humour and a can-do approach, which is necessary for me to achieve as much as I do. I live with my husband and our energetic dog, and when we are not working, we lead a busy, happy and active home life too. I do everything that anyone else in my position does, but the difference is that I live my life with a physical disability that means I am extremely weak. I use a powerchair and I need to have someone alongside me (you!) at all times to help me with the simple things that my condition prevents me from doing for myself. Basically, this job is to lend me your arms and legs and use your brain to make it all look easy! It's a role which is very varied, and you can make as much of it as you wish. There are personal care and support for my health and fitness, it involves helping me as I do my job, there's cooking and stuff in my home, and I will rely upon you to organise things, so it is physically and practically possible to do everything I want. The residential working pattern of this job means that you live-in day and night for up to five nights at a time, and then you have twice as much time away from work. You can be paid a regular salary for committing to this, or you can work on a zero-hours basis and choose when you work. During each shift you stay with me in my home, or accompany me wherever I go, to be available as and when I need help. Currently recruiting for graduates to start in Summer / Autumn 2026.
