Male Personal Assistant

Are you friendly, reliable, and up for a role that's genuinely rewarding? We're looking for a Male Personal Assistant to support a bright, funny and sociable 19-year-old young man with bilateral dyskinetic cerebral palsy. He splits his time between mum and dad, and while at mum's he needs support 6:30am-8:30am to get ready for college (on a rota, not every week). There are also opportunities for evening social support a couple of times a week.

About Him

Football (especially Newcastle matches with his dad)

Music

Going to the pub

Meeting up with friends

Having a good laugh and a proper chat

He communicates verbally, and the more time you spend with him, the easier it becomes to understand his speech.

What You'll Be Helping With

Morning routine: getting out of bed, showering, dressing, and preparing for college

Personal care (he currently uses pads but can use the toilet/bottle for urinating)

If you like football, music, and being part of someone's world in a meaningful way, this could be a perfect fit.
