I’m currently looking for a female personal assistant to support me with some day-to-day tasks that have become challenging to manage on my own.

This role is to help me with some daily living tasks that are now a struggle for me to do independently.

This includes some of the heavier domestic things like vacuuming, laundry and kitchen tasks.

As I’m running around after my young, twin girls, I often neglect my needs so a big part of the role is prompting me to take care of my personal care needs as well as prompting to eating and drinking regularly and take my medication.

Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Personal grooming
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Moving and handling
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Dressing / undressing

Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Additional info:
I am quite bubbly, like a chit chat and love learning new things. I’m currently studying destressed behaviour in children and my end goal go back to work in early years. In my down time I like to watch some soaps, Netflix and also read a wide range of genres. I love dance and Zumba which I hope to get back to at some point in the future.

A Personal Assistant who is calm, patient and gentle in their approach would be a good fit for our family; to work alongside me to promote my independence, have a chat and a laugh while doing it would be ideal.

Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours

Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
