We’re looking for a caring, upbeat and reliable male Personal Assistant to support our wonderful 15-year-old son. He’s full of personality—fun, cheeky, and loves to interact in his own unique way. His biggest passions include building with Lego and all things Super Mario.
Keeping him active, busy and engaged, will be an important part of this role. Currently, he enjoys:
- Swimming twice a week
- Daily dog walks (his favourite chore!)
- Helping with the weekly shop
Our son is non-verbal, autistic, and has learning difficulties. He communicates using sounds, basic signing, and a communication pad. He requires close supervision at all times, as he has limited awareness of danger.

- Is a strong, positive role model
- Has a patient, understanding, and encouraging nature
- Is proactive and happy to come up with activities to keep him engaged
- Can support him in a way that builds his confidence and independence
The role may include:
• Supporting him with activities and outings
• Keeping him active and engaged (he thrives with structure and encouragement)
• Occasional assistance with personal care (e.g. after swimming, dressing, and very occasional toileting support)
We’re happy for the right person to bring their own ideas and energy into the role—what matters most is kindness, patience, and a willingness to connect with him in a way that suits him best.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Transportation
-Companionship
- Dressing / undressing
- Accessing and participating in a range of activities e.g. swimming, walks, shopping trips, household chores etc
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
- Must be comfortable with pets
