Job Reference
(9f35f72f) Are you looking for an exciting role that is fun, diverse and rewarding every day?
Despite my different health conditions, including autoimmune disorders, I am a 49-year-old lady with great humour and a light spirit. These, among others, include fibromyalgia and Addison's Disease. I also have mobility issues and use a crutch most of the time indoors and an electric wheelchair outdoors. I am semi-retired and work as a counsellor three days a week in the afternoons. I have many hobbies, such as photography, building dollhouses, and quilting. However, as with this, I can get depressed at times.
As a Personal Assistant, you must be enthusiastic about communicating with and supporting me in a person-centred manner.
I am looking for a personal assistant (female due to the nature of personal care work) for:
· Tuesday,
· Sundays at 8:45 am
to complement the position of another two Personal Assistants for a permanent contract.
The schedule requested from you would be as follows:
· Tuesdays: 4 1/2 hours

1. Preparing breakfast,
2. helping with personal care (shower/dressing),
3. and preparing a hot meal with "Hello Fresh".
4. You will also remind me to take my medication and prepare my lunch pack for work.
5. Tuesday also includes cleaning the house, particularly the areas I used.
Details:
1. You MUST like dogs and cats as I have two very friendly cocker spaniels and two cuddly cats.
2. Working as part of a team and covering the other personal assistants when they are sick or on holiday is also essential, as and when required, on all other days of the week.
3. Social Services and I employ this position. The pay rate is £17.52 per hour (subject to NI and Tax deductions).
4. Using technology such as a Google Calendar and a WhatsApp group to communicate is necessary for this job.
I embrace diversity and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and cultures. I also welcome applications from people from all walks of life.
An interview will take place at my home when convenient for both parties when a time is suggested; if not suitable, please suggest suitable times for you (Monday or Friday PM, if possible, as I do not work then).
Before applying, PLEASE answer these quick questions.
1. How long have you worked as a personal assistant/ carer?
2. What do you enjoy most in your job?
3. Tell me about a positive experience with dogs and cats.
4. Tell me about your experience with cooking.
