Personal Assistant

About the Employer
I am looking for a Personal Assistant (PA) to support me in the mornings, with daily tasks. I am a woman in my mid-twenties, with multiple health conditions, including migraines, chronic fatigue and hypermobility syndrome. I live in Duffield with my assistance dog and I enjoy listening to audiobooks. The role is to enable me to live more independently, by supporting me with daily tasks, such as meal preparation, accessing my medication and completing admin on my behalf. I am looking for someone who I am comfortable with, who is diligent, reliable, and happy to be around my assistance dog. No experience necessary. Must be a non-smoker and free from chemicals e.g. perfumes. I require support from a PA, for one hour every morning. This means I will require two PA's who will work on a 2 days working and 2 days off rota. I am looking for support from around 9.30am, although this is flexible. There may be opportunities for additional hours. Working rota and times can be discussed at interview.
