I am a 49-year-old man living in a village in Sussex with my wife, children, and animals. I am a professional mouth painter and a student of the MFPA, and I am looking for a reliable and enthusiastic live-in cover Personal Assistant to support me in my day-to-day life, covering existing PAs during holidays and sickness.

The role involves assisting me with personal care, general daily living tasks, and supporting me with my work as an artist. I enjoy an active lifestyle, so it is important that you like being outdoors. You will be working in a busy family home, so you must be comfortable around children and animals and able to fit naturally into a family environment.

This is a live-in position working on a two weeks on, two weeks off rota. A full, clean driving licence is essential, along with a good standard of spoken and written English. I am looking for someone who is practical, adaptable, and has a great sense of humour, as laughter is very much part of our home.
