Personal Assistant – ILNCL

Hours: 6 hours per week (open to discussion)

Hourly Rate: £13.10 per hour

Location: Brunswick Village, Newcastle upon Tyne

 

We are looking for a kind, caring, and reliable Personal Assistant to support a friendly and thoughtful 59-year-old man in his family home. You don’t need any previous experience — this is a companion role and would suit someone who is naturally warm, enjoys good company, and is happy to go at someone else’s pace.

About Me:
I live with my wife, grown-up children, and our lively, vocal dog. I have a real passion for history — I love exploring old churches and learning about the Vikings. I also enjoy watching the mighty Newcastle United at St James’ Park and spending quiet time at home.

Your Role:
As my Personal Assistant, you’ll be offering companionship and light support with the following:

  • Going for walks with me and our dog
  • Visiting coffee shops together
  • Exploring historical buildings and sites
  • Spending time with me at home, chatting or just being present

This is not a personal care role — it’s about building a friendly, supportive relationship and helping me stay connected to the things I enjoy.

Who This Would Suit:

  • Someone patient, friendly, and open-minded
  • Someone happy around dogs
  • No formal experience is required — just the right attitude and a willingness to get to know me

If you enjoy history, a good cup of coffee, and gentle walks — and you’d like to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life — I’d love to hear from you.

 

This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.

At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
