Harvey is nearly 17 and an absolute joy to be around. He’s a big fan of gaming — especially Fortnite — and a huge Lego enthusiast (seriously, he could open his own Lego shop!). With a great personality and a wicked sense of humour, Harvey loves trips to the cinema, zoos, farms, bowling, and the seaside. 

He’s also a big animal lover, showing great kindness and care towards all creatures. Known as a gentle giant, Harvey is shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he’ll have you in fits of laughter. 

 

The role
We’re looking for a friendly and patient Personal Assistant to support Harvey in accessing the community, helping him enjoy his favourite activities and discover new ones. 

Essential requirements: 

  • A full UK driving licence and access to your own car 
  • A good sense of humour 
  • Kind, patient, and understanding nature 
  • Ideally, some knowledge of Harvey’s interests (gaming, Lego, animals) to help build rapport 

Hours will be confirmed, but flexibility will be important.  

If you think you could be the person to help Harvey thrive and share plenty of laughs along the way, we’d love to hear from you.

There will be holiday/sickness to cover please.

You most definitely need to be a caring team player.

I like going to Aqua so that I can carry on eating my favourite thing… CAKE!! Nom nom nom.

 

BACKGROUND:

I suffered a brain explosion (SAH-subarachnoid haemorrhage) back in 2017 which has left me with chronic pain down my right hand side. At times my mobility is bad too. Fatigue is a big problem and can catch me out at any time. I have a wheelchair. Ideal for trips out. At times my speech is slurred, and I struggle with words; mild aphasia.I lost the vision in my left eye due to a rare eye cancer; occular melanoma in 2019. All I need now is a parrot on my shoulder so I could do a great impression of a pirate!!
