A law firm is offering to pay someone up to £30,000 ($39,136) for a personal assistant/dog-walker role.

Joseph Hage Aaronson LLP, in London, has placed an advert searching for someone to join its ranks to support a member of the 'senior leadership team'.

And while being someone's PA might not sound like the most exciting role in the world, this 'excellent opportunity' promises a salary from £20,000 ($26,090) to £30,000 and lots of time with the boss' dog.

The advert reads: "An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Private Assistant Dog Walker role to support one of our senior leadership team. We are looking for a down to earth self-starter who relishes variety and is looking for a predominantly non-desk based role as it will require this person to run errands around London.

"They must be highly organised and well used to an evolving 'to do list' and able to keep ahead of what needs doing."

And the duties include, but 'aren't limited to': "Running errands and general personal support, which will include some caring of the principal's small dog."

Fancy being a PA-cum-dog-walker?

In order to snap up this position, according to the ad, the candidate must have 'previous experience within an assistant/errand running role', as well as 'experience looking after and walking dogs'.

The advert also says the role is a 'brilliant opportunity for someone to hone their PA skills'.

The hours are 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, though candidates are warned that the successful applicant will need to be flexible with their time.

But no matter the hours, this surely beats the advert placed by an anonymous influencer earlier this year.

The social media star was slammed by the online community after posting a job ad with some rather demanding expectations.

The unnamed employer - who claimed to have over 10 million followers - was seeking a personal assistant to help them out with a number of tasks ranging from producing content and managing social media, through to cooking, cleaning and chauffeuring.

Despite the initial contract being 'part time', the multi-tasking PA was expected to be on property eight hours a day and on call 24/7, and was told to keep their emotions buried at all times.

Those who felt up for the job were offered $25 to $30 (£19 to £23) an hour for their work, and the possibility of transitioning to full time if they were 'properly qualified'.

Per the original ad, which was uploaded on 29 July to entertainmentcareers.net: "The ideal candidate will be responsible for a large range of activities and projects which will assist this organization's leadership.

"In this position, you should feel comfortable planning/managing calendar activities, being on property around 8 hours a day, cleaning, cooking, communicating with producer/videographer/editor/manager/all stylists/cleaning services/other celebrities/friends."

The successful applicant was also expected to research and prepare for all pre-production, production and post production activities, handling all personal tasks for the Los Angeles-based YouTuber.

Describing the desired characteristics of this maid-cum-PA-cum-producer, the ad said the employee 'must be able to remain calm, rational, and hardworking at all times' and that they 'must keep all emotion/private life matters completely away from this world'.

It said: "You must be able to be the bad guy, remove emotion, handle intense conversations, and bounce back instantly from any mistakes without emotion."

Think I prefer the one about the dog.
