A friendly, independent lady is looking for a positive, practical Personal Assistant. This is not a care role and no specialist experience is required - the focus is on practical help, companionship, and building confidence.
The overall goal: to help set up simple systems and routines that, over time, make it easy to manage everything and venture out independently.
The role covers three main areas:
- Organisation & Life Skills: Helping simplify and organise everyday life - from planning the week, sorting paperwork and accounts (bills), to learning a useful skill such as putting up a shelf. The aim is to cut through the overwhelm, put practical systems in place, and build habits that are easy to carry forward long-term.
- Getting Out & About: Accompanying to local courses, groups, or clubs - typically just once or twice for each one - to provide a friendly, reassuring presence until it feels comfortable to go alone.
- Monthly Day Out: Once a month, heading out for the day together somewhere enjoyable, to explore, have fun, and build confidence being out and about independently.
Practical, organised, and patient - someone who's good at setting things up and explaining them clearly
- Cheerful, encouraging, and genuinely enjoys spending time with people
- Takes the initiative and provides positive motivation, always with an eye on the end goal of enabling lasting independence
- Respectful of independence - your job is to help enable someone do things for themselves, not do things for them
- Comfortable with a flexible role that evolves over time
- This is a rewarding role for someone who gets satisfaction from helping another person feel more capable and connected. No care or mental health experience needed - just a positive, can-do attitude., 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
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
