About the employer

I am a young autistic lady with some very challenging behaviours. I have a team of PA's that allow me to live independently with 24/7 hour support. Within that, I need my staff to run my house, including washing, cleaning, dusting, etc. I like to go out every day, either for exercise or shopping and I will need help communicating with people, and situations where I am not happy. I will need you to be my advocate and talk on my behalf as I may not be able to understand or be comfortable talking to people. I will need my assistant to be able to drive but also be willing to encourage me to use public transport as much as possible. My assistant will need to be of a happy, confident and caring nature. I would prefer my carer to be a non-smoker.

Please note this is a 1year contract.
