About The Person
Could you be the right person to support me? I’m looking for a friendly, reliable Personal Assistant to help me get to my clubs and activities — and home again safely.
I’m a young man with autism and a visual impairment. I’m independent and keen to build my confidence when I’m out, especially in groups and social situations. I can experience separation anxiety which can build up to the occasional melancholy, so calm encouragement and reassurance really matter. With the right support, I want to enjoy more activities, make new friends and feel increasingly confident. I love walking, nature, gaming and watching TV on my iPad.
You’ll help me get out and about, enjoy the hobbies I love, grow in independence and build meaningful friendships.

- Provide respectful support with personal care
