We're looking for two Personal Assistants to support a fun-loving, easy-going 16-year-old young man who enjoys being active and outdoors. Swimming, trampolining, walks, drives, and café trips are some of his favourite things.

He is non-verbal with some speech, and can get a little "bouncy" when excited — he’s also 6'4", so confidence and the ability to build a good rapport are important. A car driver would be a bonus (though not essential), and he has a companion bus pass.

If you enjoy being out and about and want to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you!

Duties include:

Moving and handling
Other relevant duties as required
Transportation
Companionship

Candidate qualities:

Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
Reliable with good timekeeping
Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
Hygienic, tidy and well organised
Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
Honest and cheerful
Creative
Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Additional requirements

Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
