JOB DESCRIPTION
Part-time Personal Assistant A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF I’m a woman in my late 50s living in Cowbridge. I experience anxiety so require some gentle encouragement and support to be more active outside of the home. I also have Osteoporosis. Although I’m not what you’d call ‘people person’, I make up for it by being sensitive, funny, empathetic, caring, kind, gentle and organised. I have a dry sense of humour and am very much an introvert. I enjoy singing, music and quizzing. I’m not keen on busy and loud places or big groups of people. So if I do go out, quiet and mentally stimulating activities would be best. For example, I enjoy playing Bowls in the summer and participating in local quizzes. PURPOSE OF JOB To encourage me to spend time outside the home, participate in the community and hopefully form new friendships and interests. HOURS OF WORK 2.5 hours per week. On occasion my husband works away so there will be extra hours available. Days of support will be either a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon.
