Back to PA Vacancies

We are looking for a kind and calm PA to help assist with going out and about, driving to appointments, picking up shopping when I'm ill, and general household/admin help when needed.

The job will involve mingling in as a second person and each day will be different. I live with my mum and my very friendly young dog. I have epilepsy so I'll need someone who will be okay around my seizures and just being able to be there and help practically. Experience in epilepsy isn't necessary, just getting to know me and to have general common sense. Everything would be explained with what to do during a seizure. The right candidate will also need to be understanding and respect that when going out and about, I may wish to be with my mum too as I want to experience more fun trips out with my mum and this is something we are just unable to do without help.

Duties include:

  • Companionship

Assisting where necessary as well as support

  • Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
  • Must be comfortable with pets
  • Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

  • Ability to complete Admin Tasks
