Job Description

Summary

I am a man in my 50s with a great sense of humour.

I am looking for a personal assistant who will be happy to support me in my home and out shopping or walking my lovely dog.

This is a rewarding role and although you don’t need any previous experience you must have a good sense of humour (like me) and be encouraging and supportive.

My sense of humour can run away with me sometimes and I struggle to be appropriate in some social situations. This is due to brain damage that I have sustained from a degenerative neurological condition.

Candidate qualities:

Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality

Able to tolerate the employer smoking in the workplace

Reliable with good timekeeping

Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative

Hygienic, tidy and well organised

Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties

Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills

Honest and cheerful

Creative

Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard

Must be comfortable with pets

Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Employee Duties:

Other relevant duties as required

Administration

Housekeeping

Shopping

Transportation

Additional duties:

Support to walk my dog

Generally there is no personal care needed but I do need cream put on my feet and the occasional help with shaving or putting shoes on may be required

Additional requirements

Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.

Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position you will be employed directly by the individual employer and not Independent Lives. Successful applicants will be entitled to Holiday pay and will be issued employment contracts.

*Exemption for gender is claimed under the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9
