About the Role

Are you a compassionate, adaptable, and reliable individual with a passion for supporting families? I am seeking a Personal Assistant for 8 hours per week to help me manage daily life as a single mother to a 6-year-old and 5-month-old twins. I have diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and fibromyalgia, which means my energy and health can fluctuate, so I need someone ready to step in and help the household run smoothly as needs arise.

Routine & Organisation: Supporting daily routines, weekly planning, creating to-do lists, prioritising and initiating tasks, and breaking down tasks into manageable steps.
Admin Support: Assisting with basic admin tasks such as scheduling, forms, reminders, correspondence, appointment reminders, and collecting prescriptions/medication.

Childcare Support: Helping supervise and care for young twins and a 6-year-old, including occasional assisting with feeding, light tidying up after meals, ensuring bottles are in the dishwasher, milk powder pots are filled, and occasional nursery pick-ups.

Accompanying on Outings: Accompanying and supporting the family with outings, appointments, errands, and some weekend activities (e.g., shopping, ensuring food order is ready before Monday’s batch cooking).

Community & Social Activities: Assisting with social or community activities as needed.

Proactive Support: Proactively identifying tasks that need doing and helping implement strategies to make life easier.

Sensory & Emotional Regulation: Helping maintain a low-stress, low-sensory environment and supporting me in managing signs of overwhelm.
