About the Role

We’re looking for a warm, reliable and caring Personal Assistant to support a friendly and sociable 32-year-old man living in the Hollywood area near Wythall. He’s looking for someone to join his small team and help him live his life to the fullest—his way.

This role includes some live-in or overnight support, and no two days will ever feel the same!

About the Employer

You’ll be supporting a gentleman with Down Syndrome, Autism, and Sensory Processing Disorder. He enjoys being active, getting out into the community, and spending time with the people who matter to him. Your role will help him maintain independence, enjoy his hobbies, and live a happy, fulfilling daily life.

What You’ll Be Doing

A typical week could involve:

Social & Community Activities:

• Helping keep in touch with family and friends
• Supporting him at medical appointments
• Joining him for activities like Special Olympics sessions, tricycling in Southall, trampolining, lunch club, and even litter-picking at Arrow Valley Park

Personal Care:

• Providing friendly, respectful support with personal care routines

Daily Living & Home Tasks:

• Grocery shopping and preparing tasty, nutritious meals
• Light cleaning, laundry, changing bed linen and keeping things homely

Every day is different—so flexibility and a positive attitude go a long way!

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who is:

• Honest, reliable and punctual
• Friendly, patient and non-judgemental
• Able to build trust-based relationships
• Flexible, adaptable, and easy-going
• Comfortable working independently
• Willing to travel when needed
• Respectful of equality, diversity and the individual choices of others

Preferred but not essential: previous experience in care, support or working with people whose behaviour can sometimes challenge.

A driving licence is essential, and a pool car is available to make things easier.

08:00 – 23:00 + a sleep-in
This takes place twice per week.

Requirements

Essential:
