About the Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Personal Assistant to support John, a 13-year-old with a learning disability, to enjoy full and active access to his local community.

What You’ll Be Doing
Support will focus on community access and shared activities, including:
- Going out to local shops
- Purchasing toys and DVDs
- Visiting local attractions and places of interest
- Encouraging independence, confidence, and enjoyment while out and about
No two days are the same – this role suits someone energetic who enjoys being busy and engaged throughout the day.

- Eligibility to sign up for the Blue Light Card for only £4.99 which gives you access to a large range of discounts across retail, leisure, and other services at companies nationwide

About You
- Friendly, patient, and dependable
- Comfortable supporting a young person in the community
- Confident managing outings and transitions
