Summary
JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am 35 years, non-binary and currently living in the Barry area, I enjoy photography, nature, food and coffee. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, ME and asthma. I like to remain as independent as possible and find it easier to follow routines and specific ways of doing things. Sometimes I can get fixated on details, become overwhelmed and lose track of time. I am looking for a personal assistant to support me in the community and in my home, I find it difficult to read non-verbal cues, so I will need someone who is clear, direct and open with their communication. I do struggle with new people and can become very anxious at first.
PURPOSE OF JOB
To support and assist me around my house and in the community.
PLACE OF WORK
In my home and out in the community.

• Helping to pack for my relocation.
• Support attending appointments.
• Assistance with transferring the mobility scooter in and out the car.
• Help/prompting to focus on getting meals.
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
• A calm and patient person.
• Someone who is understanding and sensitive to my needs.
• An open and transparent person.
ABOUT THE JOB
