About the role

🕊️ Bank Roles - New roles every day

Be there when it matters most.

Our bank PAs step in during key moments — from hospital discharges to sudden changes at home — offering timely, compassionate support that helps people stay independent.

This may include:

* Supporting someone to settle back home after hospital
* Providing companionship or respite for carers
* Helping with shopping, cleaning, or pet care
* Assisting with admin or appointments
* Visits can range from one hour to overnight — perfect for those wanting to top up income on their own terms. There’s no pressure or obligation to take shifts; you choose what suits you.

What we offer our staff

Training and development
Blue-light cards
Make a difference when it matters most, support people returning home from hospital with non-regulated care that helps them regain stability and confidence.
PA Bank roles offer a highly rewarding way to provide short-term, meaningful support, being there at crucial moments, making an immediate impact, and then moving on to help the next person in need.

Other essentials

Key Responsibilities

Depending on the days and times you have given as your availability, no two days are ever quite the same. One morning, you might visit someone recently discharged from hospital, making sure they’re settled in, have a hot meal, and everything is within reach. Later, you could pop in to check on an older person living alone, sharing a chat over a cup of tea and helping with a bit of light cleaning or shopping.

In the afternoon, you might accompany someone to an appointment or help them sort through paperwork and online forms. Some days are might be one short visit; others might include a few hours of companionship, all depending on your availability.

Every visit is a chance to make a real difference , helping people feel safe, supported, and independent in their own homes. You leave each day knowing your time truly mattered.

About Disability Cornwall

🌿 The PA Collective

Brought to you by the Inclusion Hub, disAbility Cornwall & Humans Cornwall

We’re not a care agency — we’re a community-rooted workforce movement.

The PA Collective connects people in Cornwall with meaningful, flexible work that empowers others to live with choice, control, and dignity. We’re building a movement where people support people — creating a local network of Personal Assistants (PAs) who make a real difference in everyday lives.

💼 Work that works for you

We believe work should fit your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re looking for stability, flexibility, or a combination of both, there’s a place for you in The PA Collective.

Our opportunities include:

* Permanent roles – for consistency and long-term relationships
* Bank work – for flexible, ad hoc shifts (day, night, or weekends)
* Self-employed PA registration – join our network once you’ve completed our simple vetting process
* Paid employment with full support – including training, DBS checks, onboarding, and workflow tools
* Personal Assistants registered with us also get early access to new opportunities before they’re advertised online.

🌻 Permanent Roles

Make a lasting difference.

Our permanent Personal Assistants work with individuals living with long-term health conditions or disabilities to live independently and fully.

Support can include:
* Assisting with education, work, or hobbies
* Helping to run a household
* Providing personal care (e.g. bathing, toileting)

Every role is tailored around the person’s needs, interests, and preferences — creating genuine, lasting connections. Roles range from just a few hours per week to full-time positions.

⚖️ Bank + Permanent Roles

The best of both worlds.

Combine a stable, ongoing role with the flexibility of occasional bank shifts. You’ll enjoy reliable income and the freedom to take on extra hours when it suits you.

This might look like:
* A regular role with someone you support each week
* Extra hours helping others during hospital discharge or holiday cover
* Building trusted relationships while keeping variety in your work

It’s a balanced, flexible way to make a difference, and build the career you want.

Join the movement

At The PA Collective, we’re not just filling roles, we’re building a connected, compassionate workforce that helps Cornwall thrive. Whether you’re starting a new career or picking up occasional shifts, we’ll support you every step of the way.

Empowering people. Supporting independence. Building community.
That’s The PA Collective.
