Job title: Personal Assistant
Location: Llandre
Hourly rate: £14.00 an hour/ £14.00 yr awr
Hours offered: 3 hours per week (flexible by agreement)
Personal Assistant
Location: Llandre Bow Street
Hours: 3 hours per week (flexible by agreement)
Rate of Pay: £14 per hour
About the Role
We are seeking a kind, patient and dependable Personal Assistant to provide companionship and supervision support to an 83-year-old lady in her own home.
This is a gentle, companionship-focused role. There is no personal care required, but you will be playing an important part in ensuring she feels safe, reassured and engaged during your time together.
The lady is independently mobile using a walking aid; however, she benefits from reassurance and light supervision — particularly if she needs to mobilise to the toilet during the support session. Your presence will help her feel confident and secure.
She lives with dementia, so experience or understanding of supporting someone with dementia would be highly valued but not essential, as a calm, consistent and reassuring approach is more essential.
She wears hearing aids (supported by her husband), and it is important these are in place during support hours to maximise communication and engagement.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Providing companionship and meaningful interaction
- Offering reassurance and light supervision when mobilising
- Preparing drinks and light refreshments
- Supporting a safe and comfortable environment
- Gently encouraging light activities at home
- Gradually building trust to potentially enjoy time in the garden or short drives out into the community in the future
Currently, she prefers to remain at home having lost confidence . Over time, the aim is to gently encourage small steps such as sitting in the garden or going for a short drive to reduce loneliness and provide her husband with some valuable respite time.
About You
You will:
- Have a naturally caring and patient nature
- Be calm, observant and reassuring
- Ideally have experience supporting people living with dementia
- Respect dignity and promote independence
- Be reliable and able to build a trusting relationship
- You must have a liking of cats as hers is very important
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in just a few hours a week — offering companionship, safety and support to both the lady and her husband.
If you are warm, dependable and looking for a small but impactful role, we would love to hear from you.

As a Personal assistant working directly for the cared for person, you’ll play a key role in helping someone live comfortably, safely, and with dignity in their own home. Your support will make a real difference to their everyday wellbeing and independence.
Your responsibilities will include:
· Providing respectful personal care, such as assistance with washing, dressing, oral care, showering, and toileting.
· Creating a safe and comfortable environment by helping with light household tasks, particularly keeping the area around the bed clear, organised, and within easy reach.
· Supporting comfort and wellbeing, including help with treatments and preparing hot water bottles for pain relief.
· Encouraging independence and enjoyment by supporting the client to spend quality time outside the home, including helping them dress appropriately for the weather.
· Sharing in meaningful activities and hobbies such as gardening and feeding the birds.
· Accompanying the client on local outings to wheelchair-accessible locations, with opportunities to travel further as confidence and safety allow.
· Responding flexibly to reasonable requests, adapting support to meet the client’s changing needs.
· This role offers the chance to build a meaningful one-to-one relationship and see the real impact of your support every day. You’ll be helping someone maintain their independence, comfort, and dignity while enabling them to enjoy the things that matter most to them — from getting outdoors to spending time on their hobbies.
· No two days are the same, and the small moments truly count: helping someone feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, or supporting them to enjoy a change of scenery and fresh air. If you’re kind, patient, and enjoy making a positive difference in someone’s life, this role is both fulfilling and deeply appreciated.

You’ll be a great fit if you are:
· Compassionate and respectful, with a strong sense of empathy and dignity for others.
· Patient and understanding, especially when supporting someone with daily personal care.
· Dependable and trustworthy, able to work one-to-one and follow guidance carefully.

· Observant and safety-aware, able to notice changes and keep the environment safe.
· Flexible and willing to adapt to the client’s needs as they change.

We are a retired couple who are looking for a kind, reliable Personal Assistant to support us both at home and in the local community. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days will be the same.
About the Role
You will be supporting me with day-to-day tasks both in and outside the home. This may include helping me to engage in and undertake tasks in the garden, assisting with correspondence (letters, emails, paperwork), or supporting me to access my local amenities or social activities.
I’m a keen artist, so it would be lovely to find someone who shares an interest in art or enjoys creative activities.
Part of the role will also involve spending time with my husband, who is living with dementia. This will give me a break from my caring role and allow me to focus on things I’m unable to do without support. He enjoys a stroll in the garden, short walks around the area, and good conversation. Experience supporting someone with dementia would be helpful, but most important is a patient, calm and understanding nature.
You’ll also be asked to help with light household tasks such as making tea and coffee and preparing light snacks.
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Kind, patient and understanding.
- Reliable and trustworthy
