Back to PA Vacancies

I am a kind and gentle man in my mid-sixties seeking a reliable and understanding Personal Assistant to support me with day-to-day tasks.

I live with physical health challenges that have led to depression, anxiety, OCD and PTSD.

I am looking for someone who has experience in these areas and can offer empathetic, patient, and non-judgemental support.

About the role:

Assistance with shopping and food preparation, including tidying up afterwards
General domestic tasks such as vacuuming, washing floors, and mdusting/wiping surfaces
Help with administrative tasks, including opening mail and responding to correspondence
Support with managing ongoing housing and maintenance issues (e.g.making phone calls)

Due to my OCD, I would prefer that a PA is willing to wear surgical-style gloves while carrying out tasks to help minimise perceived risks.

A driver is preferred, and mileage will be reimbursed & flexible hours available, to be discussed.

If you are compassionate, practical, and able to provide respectful, person centred support, I would be pleased to hear from you.

Duties include:

Moving and handling
Other relevant duties as required
Administration
Housekeeping
Shopping
Cooking

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
