I am a young, friendly woman looking for a Female* Personal Assistant with good IT and admin skills.

Duties include:
You will need to support me with chest physiotherapy exercises and other physiotherapy daily; training will be provided.
Support using the Acapella Breathing Aid- training will be provided-I am sometimes unable to clear my lungs of phlegm which I find alarming, and this can change my tone of voice at these times. To me it comes across as if I am speaking normally so no offence intended.

Must be comfortable with pets and not allergic to cats.
Be happy to take regular lateral flow tests
Must have a UK driving license : As this position involves you driving my car, I am restricted to employing people who are aged 25 years or over due to insurance rules.
