Personal Assitant

Personal Assistant (PA) required to Support a Young Man to Build Confidence and Independence, Are you an energetic, caring, and reliable person who enjoys making a real difference in someone's life? We're looking for a Personal Assistant to support a Shy friendly and engaging 17-year-old young man to enjoy new experiences, build confidence, and develop his independence while having fun along the way. This is much more than a support role - it's an opportunity to become a trusted companion, mentor, and positive influence, helping a young person discover new opportunities and enjoy the world around him. He is a bright and kind 17-year-old with Autism, ADHD, and Hypermobility. While these conditions can make it more challenging for him to stay regulated throughout the day and build new friendships independently, with the right support he hopes to enjoy getting out into the community and trying new activities and having his own adventures. The young man enjoys:

• Playing guitar
• Going to the gym when the venue is quieter with less people
• Visiting parks, and quiet spaces
• Taking part in sporting activities
He is looking for someone who can become a familiar, trusted presence in his life-someone who makes him feel safe, valued, and confident enough to step outside his comfort zone while encouraging his growing independence. What You'll Be Doing You'll support him to:
• Enjoy community activities and local outings.
• Access sporting activities, parks, cafés and shops.
• Use public transport where appropriate.
