What does the job of a personal assistant entail?

As a personal assistant, you work in the home of a person with a disability.

You make a significant difference and help another person's daily life function.

We have clients of various ages and with different disabilities. Your workplace is wherever the client is, and the job is both varied and eventful. Contributing every day to allow a person to live their life as they wish is, in our opinion, the most important job in the world.
