Are you a compassionate, reliable individual looking for a flexible part-time role where no two days are the same? We're building a small, trusted team of Personal Assistants to provide occasional but meaningful support—typically once every two weeks (currently every three weeks)—with the potential for more regular hours as we find the right people.
This role is ideal for someone who values connection and variety in their work. You'll be offering companionship, helping with outings, and providing transportation—whether it’s running errands, heading out for a walk, or enjoying a relaxed afternoon somewhere new. While Thursday afternoons are currently the most common time we need help, we’re very flexible and happy to discuss and arrange hours that work for both sides.
Because this role involves spending time with a much-loved dog, being a genuine dog lover is a must.
We’re looking for someone who can step in as needed, be reliable when called upon, and become a valued part of a supportive team. If you’re friendly, flexible, and enjoy making a real difference in someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Other relevant duties as required
- Transportation
- Companionship
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
If you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
