Job description

Self Employed Personal Assistant - NBRNY

Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Sundays 4pm-7pm. Additional 8 hours to be worked flexibly through the week

Rate of Pay: £18.00 per hour

I am a parent of four children, two of whom are autistic. Our home is lively, busy, and full of activity, and I am looking for reliable and compassionate support to help our family thrive.

I have a rare autoimmune condition that limits my mobility and energy levels, so I need consistent, practical support around the home. My children are home educated, which works well for us and allows us to manage our needs together, but it also means I have little downtime and no nearby family support.

About the role:

This role is varied and hands-on, supporting both me and the smooth running of our home. Key tasks include:

• General housework and tidying
• Light cleaning and laundry
• Meal preparation and cooking support
• Basic home upkeep (e.g. helping to arrange small repairs or practical tasks)
• Assisting with emails and simple admin when I am fatigued
• Helping to maintain a safe, calm, and positive home environment

About you:

The right person will be kind, patient, and adaptable, with an understanding or willingness to learn about autism and chronic illness. You’ll need to be comfortable working in a busy household with children and able to balance being proactive with respecting our family’s rhythm and routines.

If you enjoy helping others, can bring a sense of calm and reliability to a busy home, and are happy to turn your hand to a range of everyday tasks, I’d love to hear from you.

This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.

At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
