Hi Moushka,

Are you able to disclose what the hourly pay would be for this role? I'm an interior designer myself and my girlfriend is looking for a new job that could be quite flexible in rota to allow her to complete personal jobs of her own. She has the skills required to do the job and to the highest of standards. We are based in East dulwich ourselves so there would be no reason of lateness when commuting to work.

When would you be looking for someone to start?

Many thanks,

Scott
