Define purchase errands for a personal attendant
Purchase errands should be limited, documented and practical. A personal attendant can collect approved items, but this does not mean they should make personal spending decisions for the employer. Clarify the list, approval process and handling of receipts before errands become part of the role.

Make the request specific
Provide the item name, quantity and any essential variation. If the employer wants a particular brand or fit, say so rather than expecting the attendant to recognise it. Identify which details are flexible and which need approval. A photograph may help for ordinary items, but it should not replace a clear statement of what may be purchased.
Set a substitution rule
Explain what happens when the requested item is unavailable or its price differs from the expected amount. The attendant should contact the named person before making an unapproved change. If that person cannot be reached, agree whether the errand stops or the item is left unpurchased. Avoid making the worker absorb the cost of uncertainty.
Keep money and receipts traceable
Use an agreed method to record funds supplied, purchases and any balance returned. Choose a format that both sides can understand without unnecessary administration. The employer should review discrepancies promptly while the details are fresh. Do not mix several unrelated requests into a single unexplained payment and then expect a perfect reconstruction later.
Account for time away from other duties
An errand may mean the attendant is unavailable for their normal support tasks. Confirm that the timing fits and identify who handles requests during the absence. If errands become frequent or cover distant locations, revisit the role through Staffly rather than treating them as a small addition that never changes the workload.
A practical example to adapt
Hypothetical example: an employer requests two specific accessories and supplies an approved amount. One is unavailable, so the attendant asks before substituting. The employer decides to leave it. Receipts and the remaining balance are returned together, while the missed item is clearly marked on the original list.
