Each week:

2 hours of supporting with cooking / household tasks / errands.

2 hours of supporting with cleaning.

Summary of role:

I am a 38-year-old woman seeking a Personal Assistant (PA) to support me due to an energy-limiting disability. The role is focused on assisting me with some aspects of everyday life and supporting me to be an active parent to my 6-year-old son. My husband is also registered as my carer, and at times the PA will provide support while he’s working or having respite.

Must hold a clean UK driving licence and be confident driving me and my son to places. (It’s not necessary for the PA to have their own vehicle as I will insure them on my car).

This role primarily involves ensuring the client, a 48-year-old sociable autistic male who loves films and books, leaves the house and travels to his place of work – one stop on the Metro – and then to ensure a smooth transition to start his shift. The client can travel alone but only if everything runs smoothly. He would need advice and guidance when trains don’t arrive or are late, etc.

This role will also include helping the client with the compulsory annual online basic course required by his employer.

We would prefer to have someone who has experience of dealing with and working alongside autistic adults, but this is not essential. As long as you have the right attributes – i.e. friendly, calm, patient and supportive – then guidance will be provided.

To start ASAP up to next September as we have funding for this role for one year.

 

We will be asking for 2 references and to carry out a DBS check.
