You'd be working with a highly functioning, professional individual with excellent self-awareness. She has an acquired brain injury, ADHD, physical health conditions, and complex PTSD.
Due to these challenges, she has an unreliable working memory and difficulty maintaining focus on tasks. She uses a range of IT platforms to support this. She thrives on reliability and a calm, directive manner. Her goal is to be as independent and autonomous as possible, within her brain-related disabilities.
You will be working in an already established small team of 2 or 3 PAs. You will be required to have and use your own laptop for this role.
Responsibilities:
1. Manage and organise the individual's schedule, including appointments, meetings, and events.
2. Assist with personal tasks and projects as assigned, including household management and administrative support for personal ventures.
3. Support the client to develop tools and routines to manage brain-related challenges, such as task initiation and follow-through.
4. Support the client to find solutions to obstacles and address challenges collaboratively, encouraging innovative thinking while providing practical support to implement ideas.
5. Handle email correspondence and manage incoming communications, ensuring timely responses and prioritising important messages.
6. Provide motivational support to encourage the client to stay engaged with tasks and projects, offering gentle reminders and positive reinforcement when needed.
7. Maintain electronic filing systems, ensuring all documents are organised and easily accessible.
8. Maintain confidentiality and discretion in handling sensitive information and documents.
9. Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve efficiency.
Requirements:
1. Proven experience in personal assistant roles in which a collaborative approach has been taken.
2. Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines.
3. Strong attention to detail in tracking deadlines, managing correspondence, and monitoring progress across multiple projects. Ability to double-check tasks and documents for accuracy while empowering the client to review and approve final outputs.
4. Knowledge of strategies to assist with focus, memory, planning, and executive functioning.
5. Proficiency in Google Suite (GMail, Google Docs, Google Drive) and other relevant digital tools, apps, and software that assist with organisation, time management, and productivity.
6. Competence in managing emails, files, and other digital assets efficiently.
7. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
8. Discretion and professionalism in handling confidential information, respecting the client’s privacy and dignity at all times.
9. Ability to work autonomously whilst keeping the client informed and involved in decisions. Self-motivation to anticipate needs and offer proactive assistance without overstepping boundaries.
10. A deep understanding of how brain injuries and ADHD can affect daily life and work, and a non-judgmental attitude towards challenges the client may face.
11. Flexibility and adaptability to changing priorities and tasks, being open to feedback and willing to adjust approaches based on the client’s preferences and goals.
12. Availability to work part-time hours on an agreed schedule, as needed.
13. Currently registered self-employed or able to register as self-employed before starting.
14. Must have a current Enhanced DBS check before starting the role.
