About the Role:
I’m looking for a friendly, reliable personal assistant to join me for gym sessions three times a week and help make them something to look forward to.

The role is all about helping me get to and from the gym, keeping things organised, and making sure each session runs smoothly. A bit of encouragement and good energy goes a long way — so if you’re someone who enjoys staying active and having a laugh along the way, we’ll get on well.

Outside of the gym, I’m into music, sports, cars, motorbikes, cycling, and mountain biking — so if you share any of those interests, that’s a big bonus!

What you’ll be doing:

  • Helping me get to and from the gym
  • Supporting me during sessions so everything runs smoothly
  • Giving a bit of motivation (especially on those tougher days!)
  • Helping plan and stay on track with gym routines
  • Joining in with other social or recreational activities

If you’re positive, dependable, and up for being part of a great routine (with a bit of fun thrown in), this could be a good fit.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Punctual, dependable, and supportive
  • Shares an interest in sports, cars, or music (preferred but not essential)
  • Understanding of disability support (or willing to learn)

If you think you’d be a great fit for this role, please get in touch!

Home support required for a married Autistic woman, whose husband is currently hospitalised.  The support required is purely for the lady in question and would include, general light house chores, such as hoovering, changing towels, cleaning the bathroom and basic house maintenance.  The house is quite small, so the tasks are not overwhelming and there are no pets.  Some food preparation of a simplistic nature would be desirable as the employer has little time available to cook from fresh herself and likes to stock both her fridge and freezer.  In addition, time would be spent accompanying the employer to local shops when required and providing functional companionship.

Any applicant must be of a cheerful disposition, reliable and have some awareness of Autism/ADHD and therefore be flexible in their approach to both the employer and the hours worked (within reason).
