Location: York
Hours: 4 hours per week (Wednesdays)
Pay: £12.71 (min) per hour

Lily is a lovely 20-year-old young woman looking for a friendly, supportive Personal Assistant who feels more like a mate than a carer.

Lily lives at home with her mum and currently attends college. She’s autistic, has ADHD, moderate learning difficulties, and experiences anxiety. She can be shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, Lily is funny, friendly, chatty, and great company.

About Lily

• Loves animals
• Enjoys arts and crafts
• Enjoys using social media to connect with people and share what she likes. Would like to grow her confidence and independence at her own pace

About the Role

This role is all about supporting Lily to build confidence and independence, while having fun along the way. Support may include:

• Spending time together doing things Lily enjoys
• Supporting Lily to develop independence skills such as simple cooking
• Helping Lily learn to use public transport
• Exploring opportunities like volunteering or community activities
• Encouraging confidence in social situations
• Providing calm, patient support when anxiety is high

About You

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are kind, patient, and encouraging
• Love animals and being creative
• Have a good sense of humour
• Are supportive without being pushy
• Understand (or are willing to learn about) autism, ADHD, and anxiety
• Can build trust and go at Lily’s pace
• Understand the benefits and fun aspects of social media as well as the pitfalls

Experience isn’t essential – the right attitude is far more important.

Additional Information
