37 y/o AuDHD Woman in Brighton BN1 Looking for PA

I am looking for a PA, with duties including general housework (any I require on the day), and some assistance with shopping, and administration tasks such as making important phone calls, filling in forms and making and attending appointments, who would work 4-5 weekdays a week (so not weekends) spreading 10 hours of work over that time in 2-3 hour sessions - I would rather my PA was consistently at work at the same times we've agreed on week to week, my current PA starts at 11am for most of their sessions with me to give some idea, am happy to discuss this at the interview. I live in a second floor housing association-provided flat.


I have ADHD, Autism and have some difficulties managing my mental health - I have depression, anxiety, OCD, and am also Type 2 diabetic. I really struggle with focusing, completing tasks and transitioning between tasks. I often like to walk around outside near my flat or occasionally go into Brighton town centre, and sometimes like my PA to accompany me on these trips.

I am looking for someone that can be supportive and friendly with me, but who I don’t have to micromanage, and who can independently complete tasks, even when I'm struggling too much with my mental and/or physical health to be able to effectively communicate what needs doing/don’t feel up to giving instructions or getting involved. If my input is needed I can try to give it, but I am looking for someone to do things for me so I do not have to spend all day every day trying desperately to complete one or two domestic tasks at the expense of my mental and physical health, I am not looking for someone to try to get me to do these things myself. I’m not a smoker and I don’t have pets but I don’t mind if you smoke or have pets as the smell doesn’t bother me and I’m not allergic, as long as it’s not in my home.

I am a 37 year old woman who enjoys doing a wide range of creative activities (such as crochet, drawing, painting, collage), I also love anime and a range of other animation and enjoy reading (though less often than I wish I did!) manga and other comics and novels, I also enjoy mythology and fairytales, I love beautifully illustrated books in particular and a mix of modern and older media, I like video games as well. I dress vibrantly and distinctively (I’m hard to miss!) and I’m ambiverted - I am very sociable one-on-one and known and liked near my home by many people whom I chat to when I go out to food shop or get some air, and I have a number of very good close friends and a lovely boyfriend, but I struggle with bigger social gatherings, particularly if I do not have a safe person who I know well and trust there with me.

I also wish to note that I am plus sized and not looking to go on a diet or have people criticise/make comments about what I eat or how much of it. If you’re going to pick at how much cheese I put on my food or try to make me do things intended to lose weight etc. this job is not for you.
