We are looking for a friendly and reliable Personal Assistant to support our daughter in her early twenties living in Crawley. This is a rewarding opportunity to help her build independence and confidence while enjoying activities she loves.

The role involves working 6 hours per week, ideally split into two 3-hour shifts, with days and times to be mutually agreed. The support will mainly focus on getting out and about using public transport, encouraging independence, and helping her feel more confident in the community.

She is a happy and sociable young woman with a keen interest in movies and a passion for collecting Barbie dolls.
