Personal Assistant – KROYOR

Personal Assistant Wanted – 9 Hours a Week (York)

£12.60/hour + mileage • Flexible • Teamwork • Learning Together

Driver Essential

 

Hi!

I’m looking for a friendly, reliable Personal Assistant who wants to work with me — not just for me.

Think of this as a small, supportive team of two where we help each other out, stay organised, and make day-to-day life run smoothly.

You don’t need years of experience — just the right attitude, a willingness to learn, and confidence using tech. If you enjoy problem-solving, organising, and working alongside someone in a relaxed, supportive way, this could suit you perfectly.

 

What the Job Is Like

We’ll be working together on tasks like:

  • Sorting admin, emails, notes, and online forms
  • Helping with reading and organisation (dyslexia support)
  • Using websites like York Council, NHS, Gov.uk (don’t worry — we learn them together!)
  • Driving me and my trained medical assistance dog to appointments
  • Giving a hand with small tasks, trips to the supermarket its mainly heavy lifting and helping me look for soy free food, you don’t need to be Delia Smith or Arnie.
  • Communicating clearly face-to-face — I lip-read, so it’s teamwork all the way

There’s no personal care, no meal prep — it’s mostly practical and admin support with a friendly, down-to-earth vibe.

 

Who You’ll Be Teaming Up With

  • Me: organised, independent, and good at explaining what I need — I just need someone who can support me with certain tasks and work alongside me.
  • My medical assistance dog: professional, adorable, takes their job very seriously.
  • A cat.

If you like dogs, this is a bonus.
If you love dogs, this is a perk.

 

Who This Could Suit

This role is great for someone younger who:

  • Likes organising things and problem-solving
  • Respectful at all times, with confidential matters.
  • Enjoys supporting others
  • Uses tech confidently (laptops, phones, websites)
  • Wants a flexible, low-stress job
  • Likes learning new things and being part of a small team
  • Is patient, kind, and communicates clearly

You don’t need to be perfect — just open, supportive, and willing to learn as we go.

 

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.
