Job Description
Summary
I am a really keen carp fisherman who is looking for somebody to accompany me on day long fishing trips within the local area. I am looking for a Self-Employed Personal Assistant who is happy to drive me and my equipment and help me set up my bivvy, chair and little camping stove. Your company and practical support during a days fishing, would really help enable me to enjoy a sport that I love.
My other hobby is woodwork and I have a workshop in the garden. I spend hours pottering in my ‘man cave’ creating things like bird tables/boxes, beehives and easels. In the cold winter months when fishing is not ideal, I would enjoy the company and support of a Personal Assistant to help me with my woodworking. Being able to chat and have company would really help lift my mood. I have good days and not so good, so having help from a positive and supportive Personal Assistant would really benefit me.
I live with my wife who works full time, so ideally the support would be any day Monday to Friday. I am in my late fifties and my health is not as good as it used to be. I rely on a wheelchair if I need to travel long distances.
A PA that can drive and has their own car is essential to the role, as we will need to get to local fisheries. Mileage expenses will be provided.
