You'll play a key role in supporting a respectful and inclusive household by enabling productivity, reducing mental load, and maintaining a calm and organised home. Our household includes adults, school-age children, cats, dogs and chickens. This is not a personal care role—you won't be providing personal care or medical support.

Scheduling and prioritising personal appointments and errands

Developing and maintaining simple systems to reduce cognitive load

Running errands (e.g., shopping, post office, marketplace tasks)

Open driver's licence & own reliable transport with comprehensive insurance
