Are you cheerful, patient, and full of life? Do you have a great sense of humour and enjoy helping others get the most out of every day? We’re looking for a friendly, upbeat Personal Assistant to support a 33-year-old woman with autism and complex learning difficulties, who has a brilliant sense of humour and a small, very lovable dog!
This is a role for someone who can bring positivity, fun, and encouragement into everyday activities. You’ll be helping her stay active by going swimming, playing badminton, and finding new ways to enjoy being out and about. She loves a good trip to the cinema or a musical, so a love for theatre (and possibly the occasional journey to Bristol for a show) is a big plus.
You’ll also support her in becoming more independent — helping with cooking, meal prep, food shopping, and accessing the community. The goal is to encourage confidence, independence, and plenty of laughter along the way.
The right person will be someone who can connect with her on her wavelength: fun, kind-hearted, and easy-going, with a genuine sense of humour. It’s important that you can bring warmth and understanding to your support while making sure each day feels positive and purposeful.
Occasional overnight stays may be required to provide her parents with some respite — this can be discussed further at interview.
If you’re someone who can make a difference with a smile, enjoys an active lifestyle, and values building a meaningful connection, we’d love to hear from you.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Other relevant duties as required
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Looking after pets
- May need to take her to any dentist or doctor appointments
- Prompting her to keep her space tidy and organised
- Go with her to walk her dog
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
