Artistic Woman in the North Laines Needs Lovely PA

Hi there, I have a lovely PA that is leaving soon, and am looking for another lovely person-centred human to join my team! I am an artist who is housebound, and I need people who can cover 3 hour shifts on different mornings - after around 10.30am. It is mostly for domestic tasks and admin, rather than companionship.
If you want to know more - just read on!!

I am looking for professional, person-centred Personal Assistants who are kind and capable to join my team. I’m a housebound artist with severe ME and balance problems living in the North Laine, Brighton. I love art, gardening/plants, family history, clothes, Disability politics, documentaries and books.
I need practical support with domestic tasks as well as admin. The domestic tasks are things like cleaning/hoovering, laundry, making the bed, taking rubbish to bins, post, watering plants - I have a rooftop garden! Possibly some meal prep/batch cooking. Admin includes tasks based on the laptop, telephone and paperwork. This isn’t a companionship role, but being an artistic and practical soul, I may need you to help with sewing, navigating services or sorting things. Personal care is non-intimate and I don’t need lifting, but sometimes plants, parcels and furniture may do!
You must maintain confidentiality, be non-judgmental and have an awareness of Disability issues including positive language concerning mental health. This is definitely a person-centred PA role, rather than carer role. An ability to separate personal-life from work-life, and not to bring personal problems into the workplace. In essence, seeing me as an autonomous person capable of making my own decisions!

I flourish in a friendly, trustworthy environment with person-centred PAs who can respect professional boundaries and follow instructions really well. My PAs are resourceful, caring, reliable, with good time keeping skills and a great sense of humour! They are willing to help me solve immediate or longer-term problems I may have.
My symptoms include pain and severe fatigue so you need to be good at listening and taking cues on how to complete tasks, I have cognition problems where the PA needs to show patience and good interpersonal skills, and immune problems so you need to be in good health and be very aware of covid/flu precautions.
My essential requirements are:
Person-centred PA – PA experience is helpful, but not essential
Able to ensure a flu-safe environment, wear PPE if needed, have good hygiene standards
Non-smoker required.
DBS, proof of right to work/passport, minimum two references. I am in receipt of Direct Payments so this is not a cash-in-hand position.
My needs change daily so being resourceful and able to cope with change is vital!

Driver is not essential, but useful
Employee: £13/ hour plus holidays. Must have proof of ability to work in UK, DBS, two referees etc.
Self-employed: £15.00/ hour. Must have up to date Personal Care Assistant Insurance, DBS, proof of ability to work in the UK, confirmation of Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), and two referees.
The days aren’t completely fixed yet, depending on the availability of my existing team. But there are likely to be two shifts over Mondays, Wednesday or Fridays. So do contact me to find out more!
