I am looking for a dynamic, vibrant support worker/personal assistant for my 22-year-old neurodiverse son to be a role model to help him develop his independence so he can navigate the world on his own in the future. His diagnosis of Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), which can be changeable day to day, affects all aspects of his everyday life.

The role will involve supporting him to tackle day to day living tasks at home including food prep and correspondence, getting out and about to carry out social and leisure activities linked to his interests and supporting him to develop relationships with others. He will also need to become familiar with accessing public transport to get to places. This will involve working with him to plan his day, transport routes, helping him to budget, all the while monitoring risks in order to keep him safe. You need to be willing to undergo the training provided to learn specific strategies for CVI.

My son would probably describe himself as nerdy; he is intelligent, easy going but passionate about the things he is interested in. He enjoys history, culture, dungeons and dragons, the world, news, nature and animals. Participating in living history re-enactments is the highlight of his week. Someone with similar interests whom he can have in-depth simulating conversations with would be well suited for this role.
