About the Employer

Part-time, PA required for Young Gentle-Man

Stratford upon Avon area

Wed / Thurs 1:30 – 4:30pm (1-1 session work)

£13 per hour, plus petrol for trips out

I am young man of 26 yrs. I am polite, artistic and into history.  I like to watch humorous TV series, draw and playing PC games. I enjoy visiting Museums, National Trust properties, Antique shops, Steam railways and cafes. I am fairly articulate but lack confidence is some areas.

I am already supported by a long term PA to access local groups in the week but need some support to do my weekly shopping and being kept on task with household duties. This would be balanced out with doing something enjoyable!

·       A car driver, with you own car and business insurance

·       A good sense of humour and happy to hear about historical facts

·       Good at negotiating whilst working to a schedule

·       A wise mentor on how I should keep myself safe in the home and wider community

·       Good at encouraging and boosting confidence

·       Good at teaching wise money management

·       Creative in helping me to remember day to day essentials, my diary and occasionally accompanying me to appointments

·       You need to be above all, a kind person, willing to help a somewhat distracted, sensitive soul with day to day living

 

DBS check will be necessary before 1-1 work can commence.
