Summary
Personal Assistant Job Description
Vacancy Ref: 284
Location Melksham
Hours Up to 20 hours per week – can be flexible to work around school hours but MUST be available to work one weekend per month to help me to attend church (ideally looking for two PAs who would be willing to job share)
Payrate £13.46 per hour

A bit about me:
I am an Evangelist, black, British born female in my 60s. I have a great sense of humour and love to chat and laugh! I live independently in my own flat but because of my fairly recent autism diagnosis, limited mobility and failing eyesight I find household tasks, administrative and social interactions challenging and I am finding it more difficult to get out and about in the community.
About the role:
Unfortunately, over time I have become quite isolated but I am passionate about finding a multi-cultural five-fold ministry church (Ephesians 4:11) with a diverse congregation so I am seeking a PA who will help me persevere in my calling to serve God. Therefore, a PA who has a positive 'can do' attitude and be patient and supportive is very important to me.
In addition, I need some assistance with my personal care as well as support with administration and with my normal household chores. I would also really appreciate help with cooking, but not necessarily on a daily basis. Help with general household and medical appointment admin is also needed. Again, due to my failing eyesight, I am sometimes unable to read and respond to correspondence without support.
The kind of person I am looking for:
I am looking for someone who is friendly and approachable, responsible, reliable and trustworthy and certainly someone who will respect my Evangelist Role and Faith. Someone who is autistic friendly and willing to undertake training if needed.
