Job Details

We are seeking to employ a sociable but responsible personal assistant to help our 20 year old son to engage with activities and encourage him to socialise and make friends outside his current comfort zone.

He loves horses and dogs, and has had some experience with Riding for the Disabled but is not currently riding. He also likes carriage driving so someone who shares interests in equine activities would be an advantage. He would like to volunteer at Riding for the Disabled, so a PA who would be willing to take him and spend the day there would be great. In addition, he likes Roblox and Manga and enjoys art and writing stories. He communicates with his few friends mainly online. Someone with a creative background or relevant qualifications would be ideal.

In addition to social activities it would be important for his PA to work with him on budgeting, keeping himself organised, and preparing and eating a healthy diet. He is a bit of a night owl, having difficulty with managing sleep and eating habits so we would like his PA to encourage him to have a more regular routine.
