Summary
We are looking to recruit a MALE Personal Assistant for a 16 year old male with Autism. Applicants must be a driver and have their own means of transport. A Personal Assistant works directly with one or more individuals to support them with various aspects of their daily life so that they can live it in a way they choose.

The Personal Assistant will be required to support the young person in building their independence and social skills, facilitating and escorting to activities (to be agreed with the family) and to support the young person in pursuing their hobbies and interests.

The opportunity to focus directly on the needs of the individual and the diversity of the role is what often attracts people to this type of work.
