JOB DESCRIPTION

 

Part-Time Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 25-year-old male residing independently in the Barry area with my two dogs. I can drive and have access to my own vehicle. I have many interests including Italian culture and history, dogs, music, reading, gardening, painting, poetry, and listening to podcasts.

I have diagnoses of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), anxiety and depression meaning that accessing the community to engage in meaningful activities and with socialisation can be challenging. Because of this I tend to isolate myself from others when my mental health is poor.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

 

This support should focus on socialisation through supporting me to engage in meaningful activity in the community, anxiety management, and developing routine and structure.

HOURS OF WORK

 

Minimum 6 hours per week

Days and times to be discussed at interview.

Potentially up to 12 hours per week.

 

RATES OF PAY

 

£15.00 per hour

40p mileage when you use your car

 

TASKS WILL INCLUDE

  • Supporting me to engage in meaningful activity
  • Providing guidance and reassurance when needed
  • Supporting me to develop routines and structure

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

  • A laid-back, easy going individual who doesn’t mind dogs and walking
  • Proactive in situations and be able to problem solve on your own initiative
  • An individual who can listen and provide emotional support and reassurance especially when I am anxious
  • Patience is essential
  • You must be flexible, understanding that shifts, days and times may change with short notice
  • A car owner/driver who is willing to use car for work purposes/take me on outings
