Shy young gent in need of confidence boost looking for supporting PA (IBK)

IBK are supporting a young man in his late 20's who needs some motivation and encouragement after the Pandemic. Having a Corpus Callosum diagnosis, it presents itself very closely to an autism diagnosis which means he can struggle with anxiety, changes in his routine and managing social situations.

Since the Pandemic he is out of his routine and finding things really difficult. He is in need of some kind but motivated support for him to establish new routines and re-build his skills.

He is an introverted and intelligent young gent who enjoys going on his laptop and has previously enjoyed going out to theme parks. He also volunteers in a charity shop with a PA on a weekly basis.

The ideal PA will have some experience of autism and will be an organised person who can help this young man fulfil his potential. All in all concentrating on helping him build on his confidence with living independently whether this around the house and getting back out in community

Hours:

12 hours in total

The hours on Monday are flexible but on Fridays a PA would need to arrive at around 8.30am.
