Personal Assistant & Panel
Description:
Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB) invites applications from suitably qualified persons for the position of:
Personal Assistant & Panel
Waterford College of Further Education
Temporary part-time post
Up to12 hours per week
A panel will be created for positions that may arise during the 2025/2026 academic year.
A Personal Assistant (PA) provides help to students with disabilities who require help with the logistical and personal care requirements associated with attendance on a course of study. The term Personal Assistant refers to an individual who is employed to assist someone with a physical or sensory disability to lead an active, independent life.
The role of a PA is to facilitate a person to live their life as they choose within the community. Where possible, the student will direct and manage his or her Personal Assistant service. Therefore, a PA will carry out tasks and duties in accordance with the wishes of the person with whom they work. Hence, the use of the term personal; no two individual’s requirements are the same.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to read all documents carefully before completing the application form and to follow all instructions provided.
