Personal Assistant

We are looking for a personal care assistant for our client who is a 17-year-old male who would like some support getting out and about to enable his continued independence and engage in his community.

Our client is a young autistic man with mental health related difficulties. Your support will enable the client to access his community safely, build confidence, and engage in meaningful activities. This support is crucial, as the client would love to be more involved in his community but finds this difficult without the right support. Your role is to help him safely navigate the world, build social confidence, and engage in the activities he loves—including football, animals, cycling, and the outdoors. Because he often "masks" his difficulties, he needs a proactive PA who can provide close supervision and gentle motivation.

Key Responsibilities

• Community Engagement : Accompany the client to the gym, walking, cycling, and potential volunteering sites.
• Communication Support : Use clear, non-verbal, or simplified communication (he speaks more than he understands).
• Safety & Wellbeing : Provide constant 1 : 1 supervision and help manage emotional regulation / anxiety in social settings.
• Social Modeling : Help him interpret social cues and encourage kind, positive interactions.
