Job Title: Personal Assistant

Location: Camber, Rye

Hourly rate: £12

Reference: CZ249

Hours/shifts: Tues and Thurs 2 hrs am and 2 hrs pm to attend college.

5 hrs which can be flexible on other days of the week

Summary

I am a play hard but rest hard Leo who is looking for someone similar to provide some assistance to me.

I attend Hastings college two days a week which is very important to me, so I need someone who is able to reliably drive me there in the morning and back home at the end of the day (mileage will be paid for this).

On college days I would need you to also make sure I am ready for the day but also support me when I return home.

I can get a little anxious so you would need to be caring and patient and be able to offer reassurance when required.

When I am not at college, I would like a PA to help me with some support at home, shopping and also with some fun activities.

I love music particularly reggae and hip hop and am very creative and arty.

I have a host of animals including a seagull which thinks it’s a chicken so you would need to like animals.

This could be a job share so please apply for any days you are available.
