Job description

As EH’s Personal Assistant, you will support her in accessing the community, engaging in activities she loves, and developing her independence. This is a person‑centred role focused on helping EH grow in confidence within a supportive, structured, safe environment.

Initially, due to her current health needs, the role will primarily be home‑based—providing companionship, engaging in creative activities, chatting, reading, and helping her enjoy her interests.

As EH’s health improves, the role will gradually include supported outings such as shopping trips (clothing, hobby and book stores), hobby workshops, clubs, and other activities she may wish to explore.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Provide warm, calm and nurturing support
• Communicate clearly, patiently and respectfully
• Be mindful of EH’s autistic traits, anxiety, and time‑awareness needs
• Encourage and support EH to explore new activities at her pace
• Create a safe, enjoyable, and confidence‑building environment
• Support EH with at‑home hobbies such as crafts, puzzles, literature and conversation
• Accompany her on future community outings as her health improves
• Promote independence, self‑esteem and positive experiences

Experience working with autistic young adults or individuals with anorexia is helpful but not essential.

Compassion, reliability and a willingness to learn are key.
