MAIN DUTIES
- I require some help with dressing on a daily basis to go to work (when necessary)
- I require some help to walk the dog on a daily basis.
- I may require some help with hand, legs, and foot care, with personal care (such as beard and hair trimming).

- Ideally the applicant will have a good sense of humour and enjoy doing the above activities with me as this will make it easier for me to ask for assistance.

SUPERVISION

My personal assistant will be directed by and accountable to me in all aspects of their work. S/he must always ask what I require and not make assumptions about any aspect of the assistance I need or how it should be carried out. S/he should not carry out tasks unless we have first discussed it.
