Iโ€™m a 22-year-old non-binary, disabled adult (autistic and ADHD) looking for a supportive, kind, and reliable PA to help me live more independently. If you value dry humour, honesty, and genuinely understand (or are willing to learn about) neurodivergent communication, we might just get on!

The role includes support with day-to-day planning, travel and appointments, typing while I speak, phone calls, errands, and light domestic tasks. Body doubling (supportive presence) is essential, and I need someone whoโ€™s hands-on, validating, and wonโ€™t brush things off with โ€œit could be worse.โ€

Youโ€™ll be a great fit if youโ€™re:

Funny, sarcastic, and human (mistakes welcome!)
Neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQ+
Patient, calm, and a good listener

Into arts, crafts, or even weightlifting
Comfortable with quiet company and background reading
Requirements:

18+, with DBS check
Driverโ€™s licence
Respect for privacy, consent, and identity
Basically: kind, fun, and not afraid to get stuck in

CV not necessary, however please send a short introduction about who you are, why this appeals to you, and any relevant experience (formal or informal). Enthusiasm and compassion matter more than perfection.
