About the role

Support Worker / Personal AssistantReference: BW/NM/DP

Location: L30

Monday, Wednesday and Friday – 2 hours per day

Rate of Pay: £13.00 per hour

I am a male in my 30s with learning difficulties, including ADHD, autism and PTSD. I would benefit from support from someone who is patient, understanding and able to provide structure, reminders and encouragement.

Flexibility is required because my ADHD means that my routine can change from day to day, and I may need support at slightly different times depending on how I am managing. I may also need additional hours at times to attend appointments or when extra support is needed.

Summary of support needed:

• Prompting and reminding with day-to-day tasks
• Light household support
• Help with staying organised and on track with routines
• Support to access the community and build confidence

Expected duties would be:

• Prompting with personal care
• Prompting with daily tasks, such as taking the bins out, doing laundry and general household organisation
• Prompting with cooking meals and supporting basic meal routines
• Supporting with setting goals and tasks, and helping to stay focused on them
• Providing gentle accountability, including reminders and encouragement
• Assisting and prompting with accessing the community, including helping to leave the flat and attend activities or appointments
• Encouraging engagement in my hobbies and interests (creative writing and arts and crafts)

I am keen to maintain and build on my independence, so I am looking for prompting and encouragement instead of someone taking over tasks for me.

The person I am looking for should have:

• Kind and caring nature
• Patience and understanding when supporting someone living with PTSD
• Patience and flexibility when supporting someone with ADHD
• Driver preferred but not essential
• Experience supporting adults with similar needs

An enhanced DBS check will be required before employment commences; this cost will be met by the employer.

I have no preference in gender.

We are a private household therefore we CANNOT provide sponsorship, so you MUST have a full right to work in the UK.
