About the Employer

Personal Assistant, with experience of Adults with Autism, required to assist me with social activities and support me to access the local community. I like to attend the local library and take part in a knitting group and I would really like to go out on an evening but often experience social anxiety in such situations, so support from an pro-active and enthusiastic PA would be really beneficial. I sometimes struggle with setting boundaries and spatial awareness so would like some guidance in these areas also.
