Hannah is a lovely bubbly, happy 16-year-old who is now ready to explore her local community and enjoy activities of her choice independently. For Hannah to achieve her goals she requires a Personal Assistant who would be able to accompany and assist her as she embarks on new ventures.

Hannah has severe learning difficulties and Autism, so we require a hands-on experienced person for this role, personal care assistance will be required.  The family are looking for someone who will become an extension of the family and has the flexibility to work around Hannah’s routines as this is very important to Hannah.

Hannah loves music, dancing and singing and she has an awesome collection of “Hello Kitty” toys that she cares for, with great enthusiasm. Hannah is a whizz on her gadgets and is just as happy staying at home with her electronics as she is venturing out. You may be required to encourage and motivate Hannah to try new experiences.

Hannah would like to grow in confidence with using public transport and accessing the local nail/hair salons, she would also like to attend swimming sessions at the local pools. Food outlets and trips to the beach are also some of the options Hannah would like to experience on her own, to develop her sense of independence.

Although Hannah is usually calm and relaxed, she can display challenging behaviours if feeling insecure or in unfamiliar situations and as such always requires supervising as she has no sense of danger.

You must love dogs as the family have two gorgeous cockapoos who enjoy joining in with family activities.

A car driver is preferred for this role but not essential, you must be happy to access public transport.
