About the employer

Make a real difference as a Personal Assistant Are you a kind, caring and proactive person who loves helping others and making a positive difference? I’m looking for a friendly, reliable Personal Assistant to become a valued part of my day-to-day life and help make life a little easier for me and my family. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days need to be the same. From helping around the house, preparing meals and running errands to organising appointments, enjoying outings and supporting family life, you’ll be helping me make the most of each day. Just as importantly, you’ll bring a friendly face, a listening ear and a bit of extra positivity. I’m looking for someone who is approachable, adaptable and happy to roll up their sleeves, use their initiative and muck in where needed. Someone who understands that life can have its ups and downs, can take things in their stride and knows that sometimes the little things make the biggest difference. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to build a genuine, trusting working relationship in a friendly home environment, with a role that offers variety, purpose and the chance to see the real difference your support makes. If you’re someone who genuinely enjoys helping people, values making a difference and wants a role that’s about more than just ticking off a to-do list, I’d love to hear from you!
