Details
I am looking for a friendly and supportive PA to provide care for myself and support to look after my teenage daughter who is on autistic spectrum and has social anxiety so is not currently accessing education. My PA will help me to maintain my own personal care as well as keeping my routine together, and supporting us with educational needs, encouraging me to take exercise, community engagement (voluntary work) and working towards my goal of being self-employed. Ideally visits will be around the time of our evening meal on 3 or 4 days per week, and occasional Saturdays. I would consider offering the position to a student currently studying a related role (possibly occupational therapy) and could be flexible regarding working times to fit around term time and holidays.
