female Muslim Personal Assistant

I am a creative and ambitious woman looking for a kind, patient and dependable female Muslim Personal Assistant to support me to live independently and pursue my personal, academic and creative goals.

I experience severe obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), particularly contamination fears and ritual behaviours, alongside agoraphobia, anxiety and periods of significant distress. My Islamic faith and religious practices are an important part of my life, so I am looking for someone who can work sensitively and respectfully around both my faith and my individual support needs.

The role will begin at 4 hours per week but is expected to develop as I move into my own home and become increasingly independent.

The Role Will Include

Supporting me to keep my home clean, tidy and organised

Assisting with deliveries, post and everyday practical tasks

Supporting shopping and other essential activities outside the home

Accompanying me to appointments, workshops, events, leisure activities and trips

Providing calm and reassuring support when OCD, anxiety or distress becomes overwhelming

Encouraging independence while recognising when I need someone to step in and provide practical assistance

Helping organise day-to-day activities and routines

Supporting me safely with household tasks, including cooking and caring for delicate clothing or textiles

I am looking for someone who is calm, compassionate, trustworthy, respectful and reliable. You will need to understand the importance of excellent hygiene and be sensitive to Islamic practices, including ritual purity.

You should be able to remain patient during periods of anxiety or distress, follow detailed instructions, think practically and build a strong, trusting working relationship.

A full driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential, as I am unable to drive or use public transport.

No previous care experience is essential; finding someone with the right personality, values and willingness to learn is most important.

Some flexibility for evenings, weekends, Bank Holidays and occasional short-notice support will be required as the hours increase.
