I’m looking for a local Personal Assistant (PA) within around 15 minutes of Lindfield to provide occasional ad hoc holiday cover.

I’m a 45-year-old female artist with health conditions and hidden disabilities, seeking a self-employed PA who can offer flexible support during occasional weekday shifts of around 3–4 hours.

The support would include helping with morning routines, light housework, simple meal preparation, dog walking, admin reminders, and assistance with keeping on top of appointments. My energy levels and symptoms can fluctuate, so patience, understanding, and an awareness of neurodiversity are essential.

The ideal person will be reliable, organised, confident around dogs, happy to help with some cleaning, and comfortable preparing simple meals. You must be self-employed, HMRC-registered, and have your own public liability insurance.

If you’re kind, practical, and enjoy helping someone maintain independence and manage day-to-day life, I’d love to hear from you.

Duties include:

- Medication prompting/administering

- Other relevant duties as required

- Administration

- Housekeeping

- Shopping

- Cooking

- Looking after pets

- Gardening

Candidate qualities:

- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality

- 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

- Creative

- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard

- Must be comfortable with pets

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.

If you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. 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.

Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
