Fun and energetic PA for neurodiverse woman

Looking for a Personal Assistant to join the team supporting Mim who is 25, disabled, autistic and awesome!.

About Mim-

Mim is smart, sassy, funny and creative. She works as a Speech and Language Therapist with a particular passion for helping children with complex special needs learn how to communicate. Outside of work Mim is very creative and artistic, every evening is a craft evening! Mim is also keen to get out of the house and explore Brighton more.

What we’re looking for-

For this role we are looking for a caring, kind and enthusiastic individual who has a genuine passion for supporting others. We are looking for someone who alongside any work responsibilities can also develop a connection and friendship with Mim, someone she can laugh, have good conversation and enjoy her time with.

Responsibilities-

Mim's PAs are her biggest cheerleaders as she is working on building her independence. This can include:

• Driving to and from both social activities and work (using Mim’s wheelchair adapted car).
• Supporting Mim’s communication, medical and emotional needs.
• Helping Mim to enjoy her day, encouraging her to access the community and attend fun, social activities.
• Help with household tasks, such as cleaning.
• Meal preparation.

Requirements

• No previous PA or care experience is required as all training is provided by us. If you believe you are right for the role we’d love to hear from you.
• Driving license- as the shifts often require driving Mim to work or social activities, a valid driving license is required. A car is not required as Mim has her own Wheelchair Accessible car.
• Due to car insurance the applicant must be at least 25 years old.

Job Type- Part time, permanent

Tuesdays - 10:30am - 2:30pm = waking Mim up and helping her do activities like swimming
