Are you someone patient and calm, who can be supportive without being
overpowering?
Are you a good listener?
Do you like a bit of banter while you work?
I am a 22-year-old female, looking for a cover PA/support worker to support me in
completing a range of domestic tasks, and most importantly getting me out and
about. Going for walks with my dogs, visiting a garden centre or café, exploring
places further afield would be part of the role so having a car is vital. Fresh air and
a new perspective often make things better!
The work will be as and when required, as you would be covering my existing PAs
for holiday and sickness.
