About the Personal Assistant Role

You are applying for an essential role inside Fran and Chris' home. The successful candidate will act as Fran's second pair of hands. The role primarily involves running the home but can involve a wide range of tasks. Your role will be to do everything Fran would ordinarily do but struggles to do so.

  • The role is to help with all aspects of daily life. This could include (but may not): personal care, shopping, housework, going out, paperwork, and fulfilling aspirations for self-worth and independence.

  • Fran has a speech impairment, so when she needs to make important phone calls, she has to ask her personal assistants to speak on her behalf because talking on the phone is more challenging than face to face. Therefore, Fran must be able to employ people whom she feels she can trust with sensitive information.

  • The successful candidate needs to be very adaptable to different situations.

Daily Tasks

The PA role can involve a wide range of tasks. Therefore, prospective employees must adopt a flexible approach to work.

Since Fran is busy running a business, the need to use initiative and complete tasks without needing to be asked are essential. However, the successful candidate will never feel like an outsider - chats are always welcome! Our PAs become an extension of our house hold and should always feel comfortable in our home - and vice versa.

The following is a list of tasks the PA may be asked to carry out. This list is not exhaustive and may be added to at any time.

  • Housework/housekeeping
  • Washing and Ironing
  • Keeping things clean, tidy & organised
  • Shopping
  • Cooking - Lunches & Dinners
  • Light gardening
  • Household Diary management
  • Occasional phone calls
  • Light DIY
  • Driving
  • Possible accompanying to appointments
  • Tea making
  • Life/household admin
  • The PA may be asked to assist with personal care
