PA Vacancy

Personal Assistant KR/NCL

Hours:  7 hours per week – 2 hours per day on Thursday, Friday and Sunday plus 1 hour to be used flexibly.

Wage:  £13.00 per hour

Location:  Fenham, Newcastle

 

I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to support me in my home in the Fenham area of Newcastle (not far from the Morrison’s store).

The hours will be Thursday and Friday 7.00 am to 9.00 am. Sunday will be 9.00am to 11.am.  There may also be extra hours available to cover holidays and sickness during the week.

The job involves a range of tasks including personal care, domestic work around the home and some activity outside the home.

 

Domestic work

I will need you to do a variety of tasks around the home.  For example, cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and keeping all work surfaces clean and tidy.  You will also need to do my laundry; all the washing/drying and ironing that needs doing.  I may need assistance with meal preparation and getting shopping in from local stores.  Shopping will generally be once per week, and I will want a more thorough clean of the house once per week.

 

Personal Care

I will need help with a range of personal care tasks during every shift, so applicants should not have any qualms about providing personal care.  The morning shifts will be starting around 9.00am to give me time to get up.  It will be vital that applicants can get to my home in good time each morning, so the position may well be suited to someone who lives locally or has their own transport to get to and from work.

A DBS and references are required for this position.

 

Closing date: 20th December 2023

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