I am looking for a personal assistant with a positive, cheerful disposition, who is energetic and loves dogs. I need help with motivation and would support to attend new activities and have the odd day out. I am energetic, friendly and extremely keen to try new things but just lacking in confidence due to previous mental health issues

I have a friendly dog, which will sometimes be with me during support sessions, so a dog friendly person is ideal.

Duties include:

  • Other relevant duties as required
  • Companionship

  • To accompany and support me when accessing the community and activities that I enjoy e.g. swimming, pottery, arts and crafts.
  • To help me find and access new activities, if they take my interest and meaningful activities, such as voluntary opportunities

Candidate qualities:

  • Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
  • Reliable with good timekeeping
  • Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
  • Honest and cheerful
  • 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

  • Be friendly with a good sense of humour and be a good sympathetic listener.
  • I like to walk and can do so at quite a fast pace, so must be fit enough for this.
  • Be a good motivator.
