Are you friendly, practical, and outgoing? I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to join my existing PA and work as part of a supportive 2:1 team, helping me enjoy family life, home life and getting out into the community.

I’m an outgoing single mum, registered blind, with four children aged 15–20 and a much-loved guide dog, Prince. I’m looking for someone reliable, approachable and happy to get involved in a varied role where you’ll work alongside my existing PA, sharing duties and supporting each other.

The role includes helping with everyday domestic tasks at home, as well as supporting me out and about, both independently and with my children. This could include helping me access the community, attend activities or appointments, and generally making everyday life easier and more enjoyable.

Prince also needs to get out for a proper free run at the park a few times a week, so being a dog lover and enjoying the outdoors would be a real bonus. I also have a small garden that needs some attention, particularly during the summer, so an interest in gardening would be lovely but isn’t essential.

Most importantly, I’m looking for someone with a positive attitude, a good sense of humour and a willingness to get stuck in. This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll be helping me maintain my independence, spend time with my family and get the most out of everyday life.

If you think you’d be a good fit for our busy household – including one very important four-legged member – I’d love to hear from you!
