He has a close relationship with his brother, and they like to spend time together.  

 The main purpose of the role is to go out and about with Shaye to enable and support him to take part in different social activities, this includes swimming, going to soft play and going to the park. Shaye loves outdoor spaces and being in the fresh air. One of his favourite places to visit is Ponteland Park. He also enjoys going to the airport and watching the aeroplanes taking off and landing.

Guy is a lovely 17-year-old boy who is happy to attend school. He has a diagnosis of autism and developmental delay; he lives with his mum who is his main and sole carer. Guy has in the past suffered aggression towards himself and his mother when dysregulated however following several investigations and correct medication guy is now settled with no physical aggressive outbursts but can become dysregulated and emotionally upset and display anxiety, however activities he enjoys, and being outdoors can regulate him quickly and effectively.

Guy enjoys music therapy, spending time on his iPad and getting creative with his Arts and Crafts materials. Guy really enjoys being creative in the kitchen and loves nothing better than to bake his favourite cakes and biscuits. Guy is motivated by food and enjoys visiting restaurants.

Due to the nature of Guy’s health issues Guy needs regular consistent routines and can become dysregulated if new things are introduced too quickly so a patient Personal Assistant with an understanding of Autism and developmental delay is required. Guy is over 6ft tall and as such is extremely strong when he becomes dysregulated. This position would be best suited to a male personal assistant who has a good level of fitness.

Guy likes to visit the Alan Shearer Centre and the Tim Lamb Centre and up until recently really enjoyed horse riding, which he would potentially like to get back into.

Responsibilities:

  • Physical Assistance & General Support – Help with daily tasks, errands, and any required physical support.
  • Meal Preparation & Housekeeping – Assist with cooking, cleaning, and general household upkeep.
  • Shared Interests and Connection – I enjoy knitting, reading, watching TV, tabletop role-playing games (especially Dungeons & Dragons), music (all kinds!), and keyboards. Ideally, you share some of these interests or are open to learning about them.

Qualities We Value:

  • Cat Lover – Roy Rodgers is family, so you must enjoy spending time with cats.
  • Open Mind toward Neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ – A willingness to understand neurodiversity and support an LGBTQ+ friendly household.
  • Curiosity and Flexibility – No one has all the answers, so a desire to grow and learn is important.
