About this opportunity

This young woman loves chatting and getting her hair styled. She is a warm, friendly woman whose family and friends are central to her life. She has a great sense of humour and so is looking for someone who has a fun bubbly personality.

This young woman requires support in the mornings only, specifically to help her and her two early primary children and one adolescent to get ready for their day.

Working with young children is also an important aspect of this role and so confidence in this area is essential.

We are looking for someone who lives locally or who would be happy to travel to work for the 2 hour shift. Commitment to one or two shifts will also be considered.

It is important to her that her Personal Assistant is female.

As a member of this small, personalised team, you would be expected to take part in the additional responsibilities that come with this, such as attending meetings and planning sessions, supporting the person to achieve her outcomes, and carrying out a share of admin tasks for the team as required.
