I am looking for a Personal Assistant to support me for up to 10 hours a week. The role would mainly involve accompanying me to social and leisure activities in the evenings after college (maybe 2 evenings a week, not a Friday due to extra tutoring) and occasionally at weekends (maybe every other Saturday).
