We’re looking for a reliable, warm, and practical person to help with a mix of household and family support tasks in a friendly home environment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, is happy to be flexible, and takes pride in making day-to-day life run more smoothly for others.

The role includes driving support, particularly helping with the school run and attending occasional doctor’s appointments, so a confident and careful driver is essential. You’ll also help with home-style cooking and light household tasks, contributing to a calm and well-organised household.

Part of the role involves accompanying someone with restricted mobility who uses mobility aids. If you enjoy gentle walks and spending time outdoors, this would be a great role for you. Patience, awareness, and a respectful, supportive approach are really important.

The position is for around 15 hours per week, with flexibility around timings. Work will generally be from 12pm onwards, and days can be discussed to suit both sides, making this a great option for someone looking for adaptable hours.

If you’re dependable, kind-natured, and enjoy helping others while working in a varied and human-focused role, this could be a great fit.
