Personal Assistant / Befriender & Business Support (Gardening)

Location: Edwalton, Tollerton and West Bridgford areas of Nottingham

Hours: Up to 15 hours per week (Worked flexibly across 4 half days) ​

About the Role: ​

Are you an outdoors enthusiast? Do you want a rewarding role where you can truly make a difference while enjoying the fresh air? Do you also enjoy a good chat about the latest movies, Marvel and Doctor Who?

We are seeking a reliable, enthusiastic, and friendly Personal Assistant / Befriender to support an active and motivated 35-year-old man with learning disabilities in running his successful local lawn mowing and hedge trimming business.

This isn't just a support role—it’s a partnership. You will act as his driver, business wingman, and workplace cheerleader, helping him stay on track, thrive, and deliver excellent service to his customers.

A Typical Day Might Look Like:

• 8:30 am: Head to Tollerton to collect the business tools and vehicle (electric), pick up our client and head to the first gardening job of the day for a 9:00 am start.
• On the Job: Help load and unload gardening tools, talk with customers to interpret their needs, oversee time management, bookings and some paperwork, promote new client opportunities.
• Supervision & Support: Provide friendly, positive supervision. Our client thrives on praise and loves positive reinforcement for a job well done!
• The Vibe: Enjoying great conversations about films, sci-fi, and pop culture while working hard in the great British weather.

What We Are Looking For: ​

• Age 25+ with a valid Automatic Driving Licence (strictly required for vehicle insurance purposes). ​
• An outgoing, chatty, and encouraging personality—someone who genuinely enjoys building rapport. ​
• Excellent communication and organisational skills to handle customer interactions and basic business paperwork. ​
• A love for the outdoors (an interest in gardening, swimming, or skiing is a massive bonus!). ​Flexibility: Because gardening depends heavily on the weather, we need someone who can adapt to changing schedules across the designated working days. ​

What’s in it for You? ​

Up to 15 hours per week with the potential of additional hours for the right person.

A highly rewarding, active role where no two days are the same. ​

The chance to support a local entrepreneur and see the direct, positive impact of your work ​To Apply:
