Personal Assistant Wanted – 9 Hours per Week
Location: York
Hourly Rate: £12.60 + mileage expenses
Full UK driving licence and own vehicle essential
I am a disabled lady seeking a reliable, supportive Personal Assistant to help me for 9 hours per week. Most of the support I need is with admin and dyslexia-related tasks, as well as occasional practical help due to arthritis, and driving me with my medical assistance dog to appointments.
I am intelligent and organised, and I manage and delegate the tasks I need. This role is about enabling me to stay independent and supported, not about personal care or meal preparation.
About the Role
* Supporting with basic admin and secretarial IT tasks, including use of laptops and iPhones.
* Helping me to access and navigate York Council, Gov.UK, NHS, and York Medical Group GP websites.
* Competent in note-taking, research, reading, arithmetic, and financial IT skills.
* Driving me and my assistance dog to appointments (mileage paid on top of hourly wage).
* Driving me and my assistance dog to shops that are inaccessible to me.
* Providing practical support with small tasks when arthritis makes them difficult.
* Offering patient, clear communication – I am hard of hearing and rely mainly on lip reading and face-to-face interaction.
About You
* Confident with IT, admin, and online services.
* Good local knowledge of York and the surrounding areas.
* Comfortable around both dogs and cats (this role is not suitable for allergy sufferers).
* Has a suitable car for transporting me and my assistance dog.
* Calm, understanding, and supportive in your approach.
* Ideally, holds a First Aid Certificate (due to my medical conditions, though I do not need medication support).
