Personal Assistant – Supporting an Autistic Adult in the Home and Community
About Me
I am a severely autistic adult with epilepsy and joint issues. My verbal language is very limited, but I am able to communicate my needs clearly in other ways. I enjoy using technology and am confident with computers and iPads, where I can independently create week long movies.
I require support both at home and out in the wider community to help me live as independently and safely as possible.
Support Needs
Due to my complex needs, I require a Personal Assistant who is reliable, patient, and able to provide consistent support. The role involves assisting with daily activities, community access, and promoting my independence while ensuring my safety and wellbeing.
Who We’re Looking For
I am looking for a caring, energetic, and experienced Personal Assistant who can build a positive and trusting relationship. You should be:
• Experienced in supporting individuals with autism and/or epilepsy
• A driver, able to drive automatic vehicles
• Physically fit and able to run when needed
• Available to work mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including school holidays
• Confident around water and able to swim
• Someone with a love of all things Disney
I have previously had more success with female PAs, but encourage anyone who meets the criteria and feels they are a good match for the role to apply.
