Driver essential
Role
We are looking for personal assistant to help a 50 year old intelligent autistic male who would benefit from a life coach or guided approach to keep him organised, reflective and allow him time to work through his barriers. Our client requires assistance to attend work where you would be on hand for him to work through any social challenges, allowing him to regulate and regain perspective of what he is faced with. Assistance to organise, prepare for situations or appointments and general day to day tasks is an essential part of this role.
We are looking for someone who is willing to take the time to get to know our client, his routines and respect that he will lead the support as required. There will be times where using your initiative to read situations is necessary as there is a flight risk when under pressure. New workers can work alongside his existing team and learn about the role in more depth as they go. Our client is happy to offer a trial period in the hope that this will allow you both time to decide if this is the right role for you
Our client requires a driver as assistance when overwhelmed may mean driving to and from the agreed place. He has a cat as a therapeutic aid so would ideally like someone who does not suffer from allergies.
We would ask that you write a small paragraph about yourself which will allow us to gain a better idea of why you would like to have this post.
Applicants must have a caring attitude, have experience within the caring and autistic field, be reliable with a positive and flexible approach to work.
This role requires an enhanced check through PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups).
