Full Job Description
I am looking for a caring, reliable and encouraging Personal Assistant to support me during weekday evenings in my home. I'm quite a quiet lady who likes peace, so am looking for a PA who is kind and understanding.
The role will involve helping me with evening meals. Depending on how I am feeling on the day, this may mean supporting me to prepare and cook a meal alongside you, or cooking something for me when I need a little extra help.
I would also like support twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays while I take a bath. The PA would remain in the house during this time to provide reassurance and assistance if needed, helping me to feel safe and confident. There would also be days i would need light housework and washing up doing for me.
On days when I am feeling well and there is time available, I would love to get out for a gentle walk or spend some time pottering around in the garden as I enjoy nature very much, so an interest in supporting these activities would be welcomed.
I am looking for someone who is:
- Caring, patient and understanding.
- Reliable and trustworthy.
- Encouraging and supportive.
- Flexible and able to adapt to my needs on the day.
- Respectful of my independence and choices.
This is a rewarding opportunity to support me in maintaining my independence, wellbeing and enjoyment of everyday activities in and around my home.

Duties include:
- Other relevant duties as required
- Cooking
- Gardening
- Assist with meal preparation and cooking
- Prepare meals when I am unable to do so myself.
- Be present in the home during bath times on Mondays and Wednesdays, providing support if required.
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 speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
