Are you a friendly, patient and enthusiastic person who enjoys making a difference in someone’s life? We are looking for a caring and reliable Personal Assistant to support a friendly, inquisitive 21-year-old neurodiverse young man living in Chippenham.
He has a wide range of interests and enjoys gaming, listening to music, walking dogs, riding his bike and exploring new places. He particularly enjoys catching local buses to nearby towns for shopping, going out for lunch, playing board games, snooker and discovering new activities. There is always something to enjoy, so this is a lovely opportunity for someone who shares his enthusiasm for getting out and about and making the most of everyday life!
The role will involve providing friendly, encouraging support with everyday life skills, helping him to build confidence, develop independence and reach his full potential. You'll be supporting him to enjoy his hobbies, access the local community, try new experiences and develop skills that will help him become as independent as possible.
We are looking for someone who is approachable, understanding, patient and positive, with a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in supporting others. Most importantly, you'll be someone who can build a trusting relationship, encourage independence and make activities enjoyable.
The position offers between 6 and 20 hours per month, with flexibility around how these hours are arranged. Availability is flexible, as support can be provided on any day of the week.
A driving licence would be advantageous to help with outings and activities, but it is not essential.
If you're looking for a rewarding and varied role where you can make a real difference, build a positive relationship and support a young adult to enjoy life, develop new skills and embrace new opportunities, we'd love to hear from you!

- Provide guidance with life skills
