Job description

Personal Assistant/Companion for a young person P/T school holidays @ £13.25/hr in LS25 - Leeds - LS25

I am looking for a personal assistant/companion during the school holidays. I am 19 years old, male and I have learning disabilities, physical disabilities and epilepsy. I would like an assistant to have similar interests to me and be of a similar age if possible.

You will need to be reliable and consistent. Your role is primarily being a friend and companion, supporting me to be as independent as possible with pre-planning travel and managing money whilst out, without making me feel I am with a carer.

I enjoy going to the cinema, bowling and go-karting as well as gaming. I am very interested in superheroes, especially The Avengers and I enjoy swimming and football. I would like to meet up with my friends more often.

You will be responsible for my care and safety whilst we are out together. Hours and days are flexible during school holidays only, possibly 8 hours a week. £13.25 per hour. Pre-agreed expenses will also be covered such as food and drink and travel.

You will be required to have an enhanced DBS check before the role can commence. I am based near Selby
