Personal Assistants
Flexible & reliable support, tailored to you
Sometimes what you are looking for is just that little bit of extra help. We understand that while family and friends are often willing to help they are not always nearby or available.
What is a Personal Assistant?
From domestic cleaning and household management, to shopping and trips out, our Personal Assistants provide a complete home support service to customers across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland.
We can:
- provide support with bill paying and correspondence
- pension collection
- domestic tasks, shopping and organising your home
- help you to access your local community
- take part in social and leisure activities that you enjoy
Our trained staff have the right skills, personal qualities and experience to offer care and support to suit you.This means that you decide what the priorities are, what you’d like to do, and how the time is spent.
We offer around-the-clock care, every day of the year and can provide male, female and multi-lingual Personal Assistants. We provide a quality service which is CQC registered and our friendly Personal Assistants have undergone enhanced DBS checks and full training
Who can benefit from a Personal Assistant at home?
Our Personal Assistant service is available for adults of all ages. We understand that everyone’s situation is unique – sometimes you may want more help, sometimes less – and we are happy to provide this kind of flexible support. Likewise, no need is too small, and our Personal Assistants are happy to help out with the little things like tidying, organising paperwork or that bit of hard-to-reach cleaning. We also offer a Handyperson and Gardening service.
Prices start from £21.80 per hour.

Assistance with paying for care
You may be eligible for financial assistance to pay for care. Please speak to our Information & Advice service for a free benefits check or contact your local benefits advice service for details. Please note that not all benefits are means-tested. For example, Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance can both significantly increase your income, enabling you to pay for the care you need.
"I struggle to walk or stand up for long, so having my personal assistant come is a big help. She cleans the house, washes my hair and whatever else needs doing. I couldn’t do without her."
Our new and improved Support for Living Independently booklet is now online!
The booklet explains what services we can provide to help you or your loved one remain independent, safe & comfortable at home.
