Description

A female Personal Assistant is required to provide gentle, low-level support to an individual who has experienced significant changes in their health and daily life. Support will focus on offering companionship, reassurance, and practical help to promote wellbeing and independence.

This role involves visiting once a week for an afternoon to provide a consistent and friendly presence. The support may include light household tasks, help with simple admin, and general wellbeing check-ins. The ideal PA will be calm, patient, reliable, and able to build a comfortable and trusting relationship.

The individual enjoys a wide range of hobbies and interests. She loves arts and crafts, listens to classical music, and attends Baptist services on Sundays. She also enjoys going to the theatre and is a lover of plays and musicals, so the PA may support her to access these activities when appropriate.
