I am a young lady in my teens looking for a Personal Assistant to support me explore the world around me, try new activities, and build my confidence and independence.

Like many people my age, I enjoy spending time on social media, listening to music, and gaming online. While I enjoy these interests, I would really like support to discover new hobbies, access activities in my local community, and develop my social skills so I can feel more confident connecting with others my age.

I am looking for someone who will take the time to get to know me — my personality, my interests, and my pace — and who can gently encourage and support me to step outside my comfort zone in a way that feels safe and positive.

About the Role

• Access activities and opportunities in my local community
• Explore new interests and experiences
• Build my confidence and independence
• Develop my social skills and increase positive peer interactions
• Feel reassured and supported when trying new things
• Must be a driver with access to a vehicle

This role is more than just being a PA it is about building a trusting, supportive environment that helps me grow and achieve my goals. You will also be giving my parents valuable time to rest from their caring responsibilities, knowing I am safe and supported.
