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.

I am a lady in my 50s and I am looking for a kind and caring personal assistant. I live in a lovely flat in Brunswick Village with my cat, it can be hard to reach due to its location so someone that lives local or has access to a car would be beneficial.

My support workers would support me to go and complete my weekly shop, make phone calls, bid on properties and support to fill in forms. I would also like my PA to support with social and leisure opportunities in the community. There will also be light general household tasks that we would complete together.

Wictoria (pronounced Victoria) is a lovely little 8-year-old twin to her brother Oliwer (pronounced Oliver). She lives with her mum and dad and siblings in Benwell, the family also have a lovely labrador dog. The twins were born very prematurely which has left Wictoria with learning difficulties and high functioning Autism. Wictoria is non-verbal and communicates by showing you her needs and wants, she can use some Makaton signs to assist her in communicating. Wictoria relies on a buggy when she goes out into the community both to assist her and to keep her safe as she is prone to running away and has no sense of danger. Wictoria is still in nappies so you would be expected to carry out personal care duties as her personal assistant.

Wictoria requires her food to be blended or of a soft consistency as she struggles with textures and solids, as her personal assistant you would be expected to ensure her food is suitable for her to consume.

Wictoria does not engage in technology and prefers to entertain herself with crafts or shredding paper and toilet rolls, this can be a repetitive behaviour. She is a natural “water baby” and loves anything to do with water, she particularly enjoys swimming and the sensation of shower water, so she would love a personal assistant to help her attend the local swimming pools, she also enjoys music when she is in the mood.

Wictoria is looking for a PA who can assist her in accessing the community where she would like to engage in activities like swimming, play parks particularly the swings, and the Tim Lamb Centre or places that have sensory provisions.
