Info

Join an established care agency with a passion for first rate services and PA support and get real job satisfaction in knowing that you have made a difference to someone else's life.

Because Origin is owned and managed by Peter Henry, who himself has a spinal injury, the company is uniquely focused on providing the very highest care standards for clients. Aware of how liberating good live-in support can be for people with a spinal injury, Origin is passionate not only about their care services but also in providing the right working environment, training and 24/7 support to their Personal Care Assistants.

Origin is aware that by providing PAs with the most appropriate training, day to day support from people who have been PAs, friendly and understanding support from the placement team in the office and a network of existing PA contacts, even people who have no experience in this type of work can competently do the job with confidence...and gain real job satisfaction from empowering independent living and lifestyle choices for someone with a spinal injury.

Meet some of the team.

When you become a live-in PA with Origin, Lorraine and Jaye will be your main points of contact. Together they take a pride in matching PAs with clients, as in most cases we try to place PA’s with clients who share the same interests such as painting, gardening, sport and shopping.

Tanya, Origin’s Finance Co-ordinator helps PAs with any queries they have regarding National Insurance, opening a new bank account, tax rebates and anything wage related.
Other members of the Origin team are on hand to help PAs with application queries, references, CRB checks and to ensure the smooth and efficient running of client/PA placements.

Meet one of our clients.

‘Origin, PAs are the best around because they are specifically trained in spinal injury care. They come from all round the world and it is great to hear about their travels, lives back home and plans for their future. The PA/client relationship is very close and you do get to know each other very well and I have kept in touch with many of my old PAs.’ Chris.

Because each client is different, each has different needs but generally speaking PAs will typically have to be confident drivers, to take clients to and from work, social engagement, shopping etc. Other duties will include personal care, cooking, cleaning, shopping, all done on a two week on and one week off rota that gives you 7 full days off to relax, travel, meet up with friends etc.
