A Personal Assistant is required to support our son Nikhit, who is a 15-year-old happy young man. Nikhit is a typical teenager, who wants to have independence from his parents and will look to convince you that he is always right with his way of thinking.
Nikhit has a great interest in cars and technology, and particularly likes trying out new devices. Nikhit enjoys days out going to the coast as well as the cinema and gaming centres. A driver with their own vehicle to help get out and about will be beneficial.
Nikhit uses a wheelchair at all times due to his condition, Muscular Dystrophy. Nikhit is very keen to keep his independence so will look to propel his wheelchair himself and will want to feel supported rather than cared for in social situations.

Duties

- Form filling and admin work: I have great difficulty with paperwork and filling out forms but this is a large part of a professional artist’s life so ability to assist with these is essential.
- Organisational ability: I have a great deal of difficulty with systematisation and keeping things organised so your duties will include helping me to create new systems and maintain my current ones.
- Psychological support: assisting in preventing and managing meltdowns, this often involves listening to my info-dumps and asking insightful questions during a meltdown to help me out of logic loops. I also require prompting for daily care tasks like eating, drinking, and going to the toilet.
