Do you enjoy craft activities, love cats, and like to keep active? If so, this could be the perfect role for you! I am looking for 1 or 2 female Personal Assistants to join my small team.

I'm in my forties and live with complex health needs and some mental health challenges. I share my flat with my beloved cat, so being a genuine cat lover is essential.

I have a wide range of interests including crocheting, going to the cinema, fossil hunting, swimming, and yoga. I'm looking for someone who can work alongside me to provide gentle motivation and practical support - helping me set up systems to manage paperwork and bills, plan and prepare meals, prompt me with showering and laundry, and support me to get out and about.

I'm especially keen to start swimming again, so it would be wonderful to find a PA who enjoys the water and would be happy to support me with this. On days when swimming isn't possible, I'd love someone who enjoys walking in all weathers. I feel happiest outdoors - whether that's at the beach or in the forest.

I can be a little cheeky at times, so I'm looking for someone kind, patient, and understanding - particularly when it comes to tasks I tend to put off. If you're supportive, proactive, and enjoy a varied, active role, this could be a great fit.

Duties include:

• Moving and handling
• Other relevant duties as required
• Administration
• Housekeeping
• Shopping
• Cooking
• Transportation
• Companionship
• Gardening

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 organized
• Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
• Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
• Honest and cheerful
• Creative
• Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
• Must be comfortable with pets

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.
