Full Job Description

I am seeking a Personal Assistant (or multiple PAs) to provide flexible evening and Sunday support. While I have a general 6-hour window in the evenings (starting from 4 PM), I only require up to 4 hours of support each weekday. Start times may vary based on my appointments, classes, or events. On Sundays, I need up to 8 hours of flexible support, with times pre-agreed on a month-by-month basis.

Responsibilities include:
1. Support with medication
2. Meal and drink preparation
3. Assistance with dressing
4. Laundry and light household tasks
5. Paperwork and filing
6. Driving my wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV)
7. Assistance with shopping and any other activities when out
8. Assistance with walking the dog and looking after a small parrot
9. General support for all aspects of daily living

1. Honest, open, and flexible with or without experience (training provided).
2. Comfortable around pets. I have a 1-year-old whippet puppy, Willow, and a small parrot, Boris.
3. Willing to assist with various hobbies such as crafting, attending markets, and trying new activities.
4. Able to assist when I experience pain or fatigue, including helping with mobility aids, cushions, hot/cold packs, and medications.

This is a flexible role that can be shared by more than one person. I am happy to discuss a work pattern that suits us both. If you're organized, compassionate, and open to learning, I would love to hear from you!
