We're looking for a calm, compassionate and reliable Personal Assistant to support a 32-year-old man to build confidence, increase independence and improve his wellbeing.
He enjoys gaming, building computers and technology, and would love the opportunity to explore these interests further when the time feels right. He lives with ADHD, autistic burnout, sensory sensitivities and depression, which can make daily life challenging at times.
We're seeking someone who can offer steady, patient support, helping to establish routines, encourage personal care, maintain a comfortable and organised living environment, and provide gentle motivation without pressure. The role also involves dispensing daily medication (tablet form only).

Above all, we're looking for someone who can provide consistent encouragement and help create a safe, supportive environment where confidence and independence can grow.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's quality of life, supporting them to become more involved in their community, achieve personal goals and live with greater independence.
