A young man (17) is looking for a supportive and engaging Personal Assistant. He would like a PA to help him with his independence skills away from home and provide gentle encouragement to engage with people in different environments. He enjoys computer games and would enjoy a trip into town to the gaming shop and he would also enjoy a trip to the cinema, going swimming or bowling.

He is registered blind so the PA will need to put measures in place to ensure his safety.

This position is for school holidays only.
