Personal Assistant – ROKYOR

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).
