Are you a compassionate, reliable individual looking for a flexible part-time role where no two days are the same? We're building a small, trusted team of Personal Assistants to provide occasional but meaningful support—typically once every two weeks (currently every three weeks)—with the potential for more regular hours as we find the right people.

This role is ideal for someone who values connection and variety in their work. You'll be offering companionship, helping with outings, and providing transportation—whether it’s running errands, heading out for a walk, or enjoying a relaxed afternoon somewhere new. While Thursday afternoons are currently the most common time we need help, we’re very flexible and happy to discuss and arrange hours that work for both sides.

Because this role involves spending time with a much-loved dog, being a genuine dog lover is a must.

We’re looking for someone who can step in as needed, be reliable when called upon, and become a valued part of a supportive team. If you’re friendly, flexible, and enjoy making a real difference in someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you.

Duties include:

Other relevant duties as required
Transportation
Companionship

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 organised
Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
Must be comfortable with pets
Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Additional requirements

Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
