JOB DESCRIPTION

   Part-time Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I’m a woman in my late 50s living in Cowbridge. I experience depression and anxiety so require some gentle encouragement and support to be more active outside of the home. I also have Osteoporosis.

Although I’m not what you’d call ‘people person’, I make up for it by being sensitive, funny, empathetic, caring, kind, gentle and organised. I have a dry sense of humour and am very much an introvert. I enjoy singing, music and quizzing.

I’m not keen on busy and loud places or big groups of people. So if I do go out, quiet and mentally stimulating activities would be best. For example, I enjoy playing Bowls in the summer and participating in local quizzes.

PURPOSE OF JOB

To encourage me to spend time outside the home, participate in the community and hopefully form new friendships and interests.

HOURS OF WORK

 

2.5 hours per week.

On occasion my husband works away so there will be extra hours available.

RATES OF PAY

 

£15.00 per hour

40p mileage

TASKS INVOLVED

 

  • Social and community based outings
  • Encouraging and motivating me to be involved in activities outside the home
  • Shopping during quieter times of the day

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

 

  • Someone who has a gentle nature and soft approach to interaction
  • You must be friendly, supportive and willing to build a friendship with me
  • A confident person who will be proactive in suggesting activities
  • You must respect the confidentiality of working in the home
  • A car driver/owner to use your car for work purposes
