Female Personal Assistant Bedford SW-BB-001
6 hours per week | Flexible daytime hours | £13.28 per hour*
Are you organised, practical, reliable and good at helping someone turn a long to-do list into “Right – let’s get this sorted”?
I am looking for a friendly, capable and down-to-earth female Personal Assistant to work alongside me for 6 hours per week.
I am a mature, intelligent and independent autistic woman with ADHD. I work part-time, have a busy life and am very capable in many areas. However, autism and ADHD mean that organisation, prioritising, getting started on tasks and keeping on top of everyday life can sometimes become overwhelming.
I am not looking for someone to take over or do everything for me.
I am looking for someone who can work with me – providing practical support, structure, encouragement and an extra pair of hands when needed so that I can maintain my independence.
This is much more of a Personal Assistant and organisational support role than a traditional care role.

…and then helping me stay focused until we can cross it off the list.

How will the hours be used: Hours are predominantly during the daytime. I usually prefer my PA support on Mondays and/or Fridays, as I work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There does, however, need to be some flexibility. Occasionally we may agree to change a day or time to fit around appointments, commitments or what I need support with that particular week.
This could therefore be an ideal role for someone looking for a small number of regular daytime hours alongside: Another part-time role Self-employment Family commitments Semi-retirement or retirement Other flexible work
