JOB TITLE Personal Assistant
Background to the job
I am a 57-year-old lady, looking for a carer. I have a wide range of hobbies and interests, including music, history, gardening, art, and cooking a variety of healthy food which I need help to prepare. You must be an animal lover as I have a cat.
I am looking for a PA on Fridays and alternating Sundays.
In addition I am also looking for a bank worker, so would require you to have availability on an ad hoc basis, as there is often scope for extra hours to cover staff holidays, or sickness.
Hours / Times of Work
8am-8am 24-hour shift, which includes a break time of 3 hours, this is usually after lunch, but flexibility is required depending on what is happening in a particular day. You will be required to do a sleep in, however I rarely require support overnight, so disturbances are minimal. There is a separate bedroom for staff.
Rates of Pay and other Benefits
£300.30 per 21 hr shift + double pay on bank holidays.

- Occasionally I like to go out and you will need to accompany me on these journeys.
