Practical Minded PA for decorating / gardening DP9089

Are you a practical, hands-on person with a love of gardening, DIY, and helping others? I am looking for a Personal Assistant to provide 3 hours of support each week on a Tuesday in Southwick, helping me with a variety of household and gardening,

This is a unique and rewarding role supporting a young-at-heart woman in her 50s who lives with several complex medical conditions, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Adrenal Insufficiency, Autism, ADHD and PTSD, . Alongside practical support, I am looking for someone who can bring patience, empathy, understanding, and a good sense of humour to our time together.

The role will involve assisting with a range of tasks around the home and garden, including decorating, decluttering, gardening projects, including growing vegetables, and making compost, This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys being active, creative, and getting stuck into practical tasks.

It is important that you are non-judgemental, calm, emotionally aware, able to self-regulate, and communicate clearly. Building a positive and supportive working relationship is just as important as completing tasks.

I am also immunocompromised and have severe allergies, so it is essential that Personal Assistants do not wear synthetic perfumes, aftershaves, or use strongly scented washing products when attending shifts.
