Looking for a role where you're more than just a worker?
We're looking for someone special — not just to provide support, but to bring joy, companionship, and encouragement to someone's everyday life.
As an Enabler/Personal Assistant you'll be a trusted friend, a motivator, and a helping hand, enabling someone to live life their way. You will need to have qualities to support a friendly, warm, bubbly, shy but determined teenage girl, to build her confidence in speaking and fostering friendships in the community.
If you think you are patient, caring, fun, have experience of and are able to bring out the best in young people, then please apply for this role. With a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, some level of learning disabilities and sensory issues this young lady's interests include cooking, craft activities, Anime books, Korean pop music and dance routines.
Your role will be to share activities such as coffee at a café, walks in the park, trips to the shops, craft activities, cooking, going to the gym.
Due to some occasional personal care this position is for a female worker only, someone who can respond as a peer rather than a teacher or parent but still maintain safety guidelines and boundaries. If you can facilitate independence and ownership of good choices, you would be ideal for the role.
