I’m looking for a reliable, down-to-earth person to provide support in my day-to-day life. I’m an animal lover with two cats (one older, one younger), and before having my children I trained horses, so being comfortable around animals is important.
My interests are varied and include crafting (when my hands allow), gardening and DIY (with support now), listening to music (I have a wide and varied taste), reading and books, fashion, cooking occasionally, and spending time making my home cosy and comfortable. Family time is important to me, especially time with my daughter who is 9 years old.
The role would involve practical and light support around my home with a small amount of personal care, also to get me out and about which I struggle with. Some flexibility would be required depending on my needs. Hours and days can be flexible and can be split if required.
I would ideally prefer someone who is self-employed, but I’m also happy to consider employing the right person.
If you’re friendly, adaptable, and enjoy a varied role in a relaxed home environment, I’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- 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
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- 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
