I'm a lively, independent 63-year-old lady looking for a friendly and reliable Personal Assistant to provide occasional cover as my bank PA.

Although I use a wheelchair following an ambulance accident while working as a Nurse and Paramedic, I don't let it hold me back. I'm passionate about volunteering and have spent over 15 years with the Fire Service, where I teach Fire Cadets and deliver fire safety talks. I also work alongside Social Services, have recently joined Healthwatch, and volunteer with Speedwatch because road safety matters to me.

I'm very independent and only need a little help with everyday tasks. This includes some assistance with showering and dressing, light household chores, weekly shopping, and helping prepare a simple meal once a week. There is no heavy lifting involved, and my home is kept very tidy by my regular carer.

The role is usually for three hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, starting around 8am – 9am, although I'm happy to be flexible and can adjust the days if needed. This is a bank position, so you'll only be needed to cover my regular carer for occasional periods, usually around four weeks in total across the year.

I'm looking for someone who is caring, dependable, easy to chat to and has a good sense of humour. If you'd like a flexible role where you can make a real difference while supporting someone who enjoys life and staying active in the community, I'd love to hear from you.

Duties include:

- Other relevant duties as required

- Housekeeping

- Shopping

- Cooking

- Companionship

Candidate qualities:

- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality

- 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

- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Additional requirements

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

Notes:

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required. If the role is offered on a self-employed basis, you will be responsible for the cost of your own DBS check.

The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
