**Job Description - Personal Assistant Required - POW542174**

**January 2023**

**About myself**

I'm looking for someone to help look after my partner, on all or most weekdays, either for a full day, or for a few hours late morning and/or a few hours late afternoon. We live between Tregynon and Aberhafesp, near Newtown, Powys. My partner is 73, has Parkinson's and heart problems, can walk short distances with a stick, but tires easily, and sometimes gets confused if left alone. I work from home in the mornings and late afternoons/evenings, plus occasionally I need to go out, so we need someone to help look after him.

We need someone to help on one or both of the following approximate times:

- starting asap: 11am - 1.30pm, Mon-Fri, if possible this would include preparing a simple lunch (eg. grilled burgers, microwave rice and veg, that sort of thing) or if we're eating out then help my partner get ready to go out.
- for February and March only: 4.30 - 6.30pm, Mon-Thur and if possible some Fridays; this would include preparing the evening meal, which needs to be mostly plant-based/vegan, if needed I can provide simple recipes.

A third option is, for February and March only, 11am - 7pm, Mon-Fri, to include all the tasks listed above, plus once or twice a week accompanying us to town for lunch, shopping etc.

If you are interested in any of these possibilities but are available for only some of the days or at slightly different times then do get in touch and we can discuss possibilities.

**Rate of Pay**
- £16.13 per hour if your register as Micro-enterprise
- £12.15 for self-employed (we will supplement this to an extent for the right person)

**Tasks and Duties**

***
- Keeping an eye on my partner
- Helping him when he walks
- Helping him if he needs to lie down
- Keeping him company, chatting, etc
- Tidying up
- Light housework
- Preparing simple vegetarian/vegan meals
- Any other reasonable tasks required

**Type of Persons Required**
- A person local to the Newtown / North Powys area.
- A person who is not allergic to cats.
- A non-smoker.
- A car owner, or resourceful cyclist (as we live out of town).
- A person with a cheerful and easy-going manner.
- A person who respects the privacy and confidentiality of working in someone else’s home.
- A person with an honest approach and a positive commitment to this kind of work.
- A person who is respectful, sensitive, patient and understanding.
