I’m looking to find a PA to join the team for up to 11 hours per week; plus 6 extra hours over the month. Must be able to work an evening at least twice a month as I have two very important meetings to attend. One of them usually involves eating out!

Will need to be a pet lover as I have a dog, Tyler, who is really friendly, loves to eat AND flirt. Lol. Help with food preparation, shopping, housework, paperwork, helping with Tyler and generally getting around; ideally out of the house for coffee!!

There will be holiday/sickness to cover please.

You most definitely need to be a caring team player.

Any knowledge of brain injuries would be advantageous.

I like going to Aqua so that I can carry on eating my favourite thing… CAKE!! Nom nom nom.

 

BACKGROUND:

I suffered a brain explosion (SAH-subarachnoid haemorrhage) back in 2017 which has left me with chronic pain down my right hand side. At times my mobility is bad too. Fatigue is a big problem and can catch me out at any time. I have a wheelchair. Ideal for trips out. At times my speech is slurred, and I struggle with words; mild aphasia.I lost the vision in my left eye due to a rare eye cancer; occular melanoma in 2019. All I need now is a parrot on my shoulder so I could do a great impression of a pirate!!

 

A driver is required with their own vehicle and appropriate insurance so we can go out and about. Mileage expenses will be reimbursed.

Personal Assistant (Support for a Teenage Girl with Autism & ADHD)

Location: York

Rate: £12.60 per hour

Hours: To be confirmed

 

We’re looking for a kind, patient, and creative person to support a bright and enthusiastic teenage girl who loves make-up, skincare, hair, nails, dogs, Lego Friends, crafts (especially Hama beads), music (Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter and more), Roblox, and TikTok. She is autistic and has ADHD and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). She’s full of energy and enthusiasm for the things she loves and enjoys chatting and sharing her interests with people she feels comfortable with.

She attends mainstream school, though she often finds this difficult, and can find larger social situations confusing or overwhelming. She values her friendships deeply but sometimes struggles to navigate them.

We’re looking for someone who can:

• Build a positive, trusting relationship — starting with support in the home and gradually moving towards local outings and activities.
• Encourage participation in fun, purposeful activities that match her interests.
• Provide gentle, consistent support to help her develop confidence and independence at her own pace.

We would particularly welcome applicants who:

• Have experience or understanding of how autism and ADHD can present in girls, or
• Have lived experience that could make them a positive role model.

No personal care is required. This role is all about connection, understanding, and encouragement.

If you’re someone who’s warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoys engaging with young people in creative and meaningful ways, we’d love to hear from you.
