About the employer

I am looking for a Personal Assistant to provide 11 hours of support per week. Working days and times can be discussed and agreed at interview. Before my stroke in 2013, I worked as a International Team Coach (for team GB) in Martial Arts, a sport that remains a huge part of my life. I continue to have a keen interest in martial arts and enjoy keeping as fit and active as possible. Following my stroke, I have no use of my left arm, as well as mobility and memory difficulties, and I am now looking for a supportive and reliable Personal Assistant to help me maintain my independence and continue pursuing my interests. The role will involve assisting with paperwork and administrative tasks, as I am no longer able to write. An interest in social media, video editing, or digital content creation would be highly desirable, as I have conducted interviews with Martial Arts Masters and would like support with editing and sharing this content online. Additional duties may include support with personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, food shopping, and attending appointments or activities where required. I have an assistance dog, so applicants must be comfortable around dogs. A car driver with business insurance is essential for this role. If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to someone's quality of life while supporting their passions and independence, I would love to hear from you.
