Personal Assistant – One-on-One Care & Daily Support

Full-Time | 40 Hours per Week

Nurse Next Door is seeking a dependable, confident, and compassionate Personal Assistant to provide dedicated one-on-one support to an individual with complex needs.

This is not a traditional office-based personal assistant position. This role combines personal assistance, caregiving, companionship, daily structure, and hands‑on support. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working independently and building a consistent, professional relationship with one individual. The right person will be patient, emotionally mature, dependable, and able to remain calm and professional in situations that may sometimes be difficult or challenging.

What You'll Do

You will work directly with one individual and provide support with day‑to‑day life, which may include:

• Assisting with daily routines and activities
• Providing companionship and one-on-one support
• Helping maintain structure and consistency throughout the day
• Assisting with household and daily living tasks
• Supporting appointments, errands, outings, and community activities
• Encouraging independence while providing appropriate assistance
• Communicating professionally with the individual's care team
• Following an established care plan and maintaining appropriate professional boundaries
• Remaining calm, patient, and solution‑focused during challenging situations

Who We're Looking For

This position requires someone who is confident, patient, reliable, and comfortable working in a complex one‑on‑one environment. A background in social work, behavioral health, human services, caregiving, case management, developmental disabilities, mental health services, or a related field is a plus, but we are also open to the right person with strong life experience and interpersonal skills.

• Is comfortable with a client who may require significant patience and consistency
• Can establish appropriate boundaries while still developing trust and rapport
• Does not become easily overwhelmed or take difficult interactions personally
• Can redirect situations calmly and professionally
• Is dependable and understands the importance of consistency
• Can work independently while communicating effectively with the care team
• Genuinely enjoys helping another person have a more successful and independent day

Schedule

Full-time – approximately 40 hours per week

This is a dedicated position supporting one individual, so reliability and consistency are extremely important.

If you have experience in social work, behavioral health, caregiving, human services, or simply believe you have the patience, confidence, and personality to succeed in a unique one‑on‑one role, we'd like to hear from you.
