Does your dog need a walk? Then this might be the perfect role for you!

We’re looking for a chatty PA with bucket loads of energy to support our lively 13 year old daughter who loves dogs and taking them for walks. She is great company and enjoys community activities such as going to the park, riding her scooter, rollerblading and cycling or equally likes a wander around charity shops and a trip to a café or arts and crafts. You must love the outdoors, particularly the beach as hours and hours can be spent rock pooling and looking for crabs, or finding shells. She also loves horse riding and has lessons at Ferring Country Centre so it would be great if you could take her to this activity sometimes. On a Thursday evening she attends an activity in Shoreham so we need someone to take her each week and remain on site for the session.
