Are you organised, practical, and enjoy helping others maintain independence in their daily lives? We’re looking for a reliable and friendly bank staff member to provide flexible support across a variety of everyday tasks, with a particular focus on online grocery shopping and general admin assistance. You will be assisting an individual who is a keen musician.

In this role, you’ll help manage online food shopping, respond to emails, and use digital tools to support day-to-day organisation. You’ll also accompany and assist with occasional visits to appointments and local chemists, helping ensure everything runs smoothly and on time.

Alongside this, you’ll provide light domestic support, including food preparation and helping maintain a clean and comfortable kitchen and bathroom environment. This is a hands-on role where your attention to detail and willingness to get involved will make a real difference.

The individual you’ll be supporting has some mobility restrictions and uses a walking stick and guide cane as well as being partially sighted, so confidence in offering steady, respectful assistance is important. A calm, patient approach and good awareness of surroundings will help you succeed in this role.

Shifts can be worked flexibly twice a week over Monday - Friday. The location will be Bury, Pulborough and the client will be happy to contribute towards travel costs.

If you’re dependable, digitally confident, and enjoy meaningful, person-centred work, this could be a great fit for you.
