JOB PURPOSE:

I am a young man who is looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with activities at home and in the community so I can develop my independence and social skills. I would like someone who could support me at home and shares my interests such as watching funny videos, playing board or video games occasionally or helping me develop independence skills such as planning and making pizza.
I would also like you to support me in gaining independence in the community, such as visiting the library or going for a walk and getting something to eat or visit venues. In the future, when I gained more confidence in the community, I would like you to support me with social groups and activities.
I would like my PA to have a basic knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons and, preferably, similar interests to mine. I like Fantasy, horror and sci-fi like Firefly. I also like rock music and food. I really enjoy creative writing projects, and I may like to share my ideas and thoughts around this. I would like for my PA to engage with me on my interests and help encourage me to try and expand my experiences/interests but be very patient and understanding as I can be very set in my thinking and put barriers up to prevent doing anything new or unfamiliar to me.
Location: Wymondham, NR18.
