Male Personal Assistant – MTANCL

Job Title: Personal Assistant (Part-Time)

Role Overview

  • Type of Employment: Part-time (Approximately 12 hours per week)
  • Schedule: Flexible, typically structured as either 2 hours per day over 6 days or 3 hours per day over 5 days, distributed across 7 days
  • Location: Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom; this role is strictly in-person.
  • Rate:£15.00 per hour

 

Overview

I am a 44-year-old professional with a dynamic range of experiences—including English teaching/lecturing, freelance writing, advice and guidance work, and DJing in the jungle drum and bass/techno scenes. I live with invisible disabilities such as ADHD, autism, chronic musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and related mental health challenges. Although these challenges are dynamic and not always immediately visible, they require understanding, sensitivity, and reliability from the right support professional. This role is designed for someone who can provide robust administrative, technological, and advocacy support to help me regain pace and maintain my independence.

This is not a conventional PA role. While I strive for an egalitarian working relationship, when you are “at work” your focus is to follow clear instructions, handle tasks professionally, and abide by the boundaries of this uniquely supportive dynamic.
