Lucas is a lively, inquisitive 6-year-old little boy who has autism, he lives with his parents and sibling in Byker, he attends a specialist school in Newcastle along with his brother.  Lucas is looking for a personal assistant to accompany and support him to access the local community, and activities of his choice. Lucas loves to go trampolining and soft play; he craves motion and movement play. Lucas would really enjoy accessing the local parks and adventure playgrounds, he must always be supervised though as he is quite the escape artist if left unattended and has no awareness of danger. Lucas likes “cause and effect” toys, especially light up ones.  Lucas will require personal care whilst in your care, he is non-verbal and communicates with gestures and noises.

To be Lucas’s personal assistant you must have experience of working with children with autism and challenging behaviours you need to be resilient, with a good level of fitness as Lucas is a strong, sturdy young boy. Lucas uses a buggy for most outings.

A car driver would be preferred but is not essential.

I am a 23-year-old female medical student living in Chapel House in private housing. I enjoy keeping active, especially dancing, basketball, and cycling. I am a creative person and enjoy crafts. I also enjoy reading and learning new things.

I am looking for a personal assistant to support me with a range of tasks including:

• Cleaning and general housework
• Grocery shopping
• Preparing medication
• Running errands
• Driving me places
• Social support
• Occasional tasks, depending on health, may include – personal care, such as helping me shower or changing my clothes, for example. I may also require my PA to visit and support me in hospital.

I find some of these things difficult due to having multiple chronic health conditions and being a wheelchair user. A Personal Assistant with a car is ideal but not necessary. However, I would need someone that can drive my large automatic car when required.

I am looking for someone who is personable, has good initiative, and excellent time keeping skills. I am particularly keen to hear from people with experience of supporting those with chronic health conditions, or those who have undertaken training in this field. If no experience, then someone who is keen and willing to learn.
