We are looking for a Male Personal Assistant to support a 15-year-old male, a bright, intelligent, and confident young man with a passion for IT, online gaming, and woodworking.

  • A patient, kind, and open-minded individual who can encourage him to step out of his comfort zone and try new things.
  • Someone confident in guiding him back into swimming and supporting him with sensory challenges around personal hygiene.
  • A person who is happy to accompany him to climbing walls, on walks, and to cafes or shops, and can introduce him to new, enjoyable activities.
  • A driver with access to a car.
